Nope, no backing. Landed belly first. Hurt like the dickens. Stuck to me too. Didn't you say they might have been called 'chollo' cactus? Think I can write something odd about that too. "The day the cacti took over" or something similarly odd....

rofl yes they are called cholla cactus
their thorns are 3 inches long
like spikes
their nickname is jumping cactus because if you walk anywhere near them they jump off on you
(a small part of cactus detaches itself from the plant to stick to your body)
