| partners | | After barely arriving at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument late Friday afternoon, Wendy had us out on the trail for our sunset hike. As usual, there's lots of cool flora and the temperature was nice. And as usual, I was impressed by the height of the hedgehog cactus. There were only 3 of us but we all enjoyed taking our pictures especially as we got toward the top of the hill on the SW side.
The chollas were lit up nicely. Wendy brot us up some libations to enjoy while we walked around the ridge seeing different flora, in particular lots of Mammilaria. Soon the sun was almost completely down so we made our way back to camp which happened to be right next to the trail.
We made ourselves dinner, enjoyed a nightcap and hit the hay. However, it took the other campsite folks a little longer to quiet down so that we could simply enjoy the howl of the coyotes. Tomorrow, Mount Ajo.

For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled. |
