Do you know Jan Emming, Geoff? He knows you thru all your photos. He told me how he looks at your photos on DG and loves them!

Sorry, I don't know that name... but that is one hell-of-a cool set up for moving humongous cacti... could have used photos like that for my moving cacti article, but then I don't think there are many cacti in this state that size... though there are some... wonder if they moved them the same way.

He said he has perfected his technique over years and rarely has a mishap now. I assume he has moved many huge ones! Here is his website. http://dfranch.com/ Do you ever get to Arizona? He would be so cool to visit.
