Cholla Pieces

We saw this large pile of Cholla pieces
on the Merkle Trail today. What's
strange is that there aren't any Chollas
around this location! The nearest ones
Are at least 100' away.

[5-30-2010 Update] I sent this picture to Ranger B at Usery Park. He wrote back that the pile was created by pack rats. Apparently they can carry the cholla pieces in their teeth without sticking themselves.
