Cave Creek Museum Presents: “A Dozen Ways of Dying in the Desert” with featured speaker Len Marcisz.  “Rattlesnakes, Gila monsters, scorpions, mountain lions, heat stroke, hypothermia and bees! Oh my! What a way to go. There are so many unusual ways in which humans end up ten toes in the air in the middle of the Sonoran Desert” says Len.  This presentation introduces us to our prickly, spiny, thorny and horny (toad) neighbors in our desert community. The goal of the discussion is to tell the stories of the often-misunderstood flora and fauna we live among to help you feel at home in our Sonoran Desert.
