Cactus Transport

My usually boring evening commute was made more interesting by a truck transporting a large saguaro cactus, complete with nest holes and everything. I’d never seen a saguaro on a truck before, and it was clear that it was being transported to be planted elsewhere because it was positioned very carefully on the back of the truck. It was on an incline, and there were poles intersecting at various angles in order to provide support to the saguaro’s many arms. The base was wrapped in a blue tarp. I tried to read the company name on the truck’s door, but all I managed to see were some stenciled cacti and something about relocation. I’ve seen a lot of saguaros since moving here, but this is the first one I’ve seen traveling down the highway.
