Tonto National Forest Az, Solar Cooking.

The neighbor's dog at Arizona Cowboy's RV in  Mesa AZ

I have started building the very best solor oven yet.

The inner frame all glued and screwed together.

Fitting the stove pipe to the outside. I gave my son the 2 large ovens. Too big for us.

Salt River actually had water in it.

More cactus

Still more cactus.
