Organ Pipe-Day 2

Hi All,

Today was our last day of "vacation". Tomorrow we drive about 200 miles to Tumacacori and begin another volunteer gig at the historic park there.

We drove and hiked around more of Organ Pipe today. One beautiful vista after another.
The yellow green bushes you see in the foreground are creosote. The bushes are never clumped together, always 5-10 feet apart. It's biological warfare to protect their access to water. The creosote bush roots create a substance that prevents germination of seeds from other plants. Pretty clever for a plant.

The new growth on the Organ Pipes is very pretty.


This rock formation reminded us of the sphinx!

While eating our picnic lunch, we had a visitor looking for handouts. 
Love,
