After a few days over at Organ Pipe National Monument to escape the windstorm that blew through the area, we were back at Anza Borrego Desert State Park, our last stop on our trip South to Spring. Instead of picking up where we left off in Part 1, we headed to the southern part of the park and dove off the pavement and down into Canyon Sin Nombre.
Episode 5 of our series South to Spring is now live. We cover, you guessed it, our time in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in southern Arizona. This may have just been our best stop of the trip, and we initially didn't even plan to go there! There were spectacular sunsets, amazingly green and lush vegetation, loads of birds and flowers, and some pretty great hiking. We hope you enjoy. https://youtu.be/FFkVC4okRbo
Our second full day at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument was going to be a bit of a day off. We weren’t driving anywhere, we’d catch up on a few things and then hike from camp for the day. We were around the campground during part of the day and observed that a lot of people in the massive RV’s seem to plan their day around maximizing their generator use during the allowed hours. I’m not sure how they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on those gigantic things and they don’t even come with solar panels to keep them charged. But, we did hear sounds of vacuuming, so maybe their power needs are just too much for a solar panel to keep up with. We headed out on our hike to Victoria Mine.
