March 27 - Organ Pipe, Mexico Border and Ajo

Another blue sky, high 60s day. After taking the boys on a 4 mile walk where we were camped, we visited Cabeza Prieta National Refuge in Ajo. We got some information on a scenic drive through Organ Pipe National Monument. 

The roadside wildflowers were busting out their blooms as we drove along. 

Look at the size of this saguaro. He’s an oldie for sure. Bill read that the ones have arms got them because there was more water available. 

The Ocotillo are just beginning to bloom. I couldn’t capture that very well. The flowers start to come out on the tops of the stems. 

The last leg of our trip took us along the Mexico Border and the wall. For about 20 miles we were about 50 feet from the border.
