Picture Night is an opportunity to enjoy pictures and stories of outdoor adventures and travel most often presented by fellow Chemeketans. During the presentations, we often learn a bit of history about the area visited and about the people encountered. Picture Night is usually held the second Friday of each month, September through May (except December). Read on for information about this month’s presentation.

Chemeketans Ken and Zsa escaped the Oregon weather this February and headed southwest. Come see pictures and hear stories of their adventures from Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in the Sonoran Desert to Death Valley in the northern Mojave Desert.
Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument is a U.S. national monument and UNESCO biosphere reserve located in extreme southern Arizona that shares a border with the Mexican state of Sonora. The park is the only place in the United States where the senita and organ pipe cactus grow wild.
This trip was truly an adventure! Plans were made for the beginning and end of the month-long trip, and a motor home was rented, but the rest of the time was dedicated to exploring and experiencing what the southwest has to offer.
Come and enjoy this exploration with us!
