john, elena and i did the desert view hike at sunset friday evening
finished in the dark, but still some light left in the sky up on the little ridgeline
saturday morning we got going earlier and drove over to red tanks tinaja
checked out baker mine and milton mine then returned the same way
red tank tinaja was bone dry
we wanted to do the loop, but were cutting it close with campground checkout time
after packing up, we all drove over to quitobaquito springs and wandered around
be nice to see it at sunrise or sunset
tacos in ajo on the way home
great trip, thanks john :)

Day three, the last day of our Organ Pipe trip. One small hike the evening before with my granddaughter Elena. Kelly and I hiked in to check out two mines and the red tanks tinaja. Lots of organ pipe cacti, The mine sites were both interesting to check out.
After breaking down camp we drove down to the border and Quitobaquito spring. Very cool.
Great three days at Organ Pipe. More to see in a future trip. Thanks Kelly! :)
