Good looking Saquaro cactus/wickenburg

We're traveling though Basin and Range country but this beauty is in
town. Someone told me that the Pygmy owl lives and nests in these
cactus.
Wickenburg is known for it's gold prospecting. Gold was found here in
1863 by Henry Wickenburg who threw a rock at his recalcitrant burro
but missed him. Turns out the rock was heavy with gold
