Keith was browsing the internets, no longer called a series of tubes since Senator Stevens lost to Mark Begich, and he found this picture of a giant cactus. Even bigger than that, I’d say. Let’s call it “gigantic.”
It’s a Pachycereus weberi from Oaxaca. Photo by Arturo Anaya from Columnar Cacti.
Did I mention that Hap went to school with Senator-Elect Begich? Oh, the stories he could tell. Or not. But congratulations.

Hi, I’m from Mexico and I wanted to share with you two interesting photos of Pachycereus Weberi from Oaxaca: (1) at the side of the road and (2) from a plantation of pitaya (that is, a fruit of a kind of cactus). This guys are all over around in that land. The specimens in the photo (1) are about 16.4 feet or 5 meters high, and they are considered medium tall. The other specimen (2) is about one third taller of the others, that should be about almost 7 meters tall (22.97 feet), as you can see is as tall than the tree at its side and is considered a big and old “pachy”. I hope you like them.
