OPCNM continued

On this our last day in OPCNM, we enjoyed a meandering hike thru the green desert. Intense sun requires hat,shades and extra water...hot enough to make us sweat hiking on the level.
There are some scary stories about the situation at the Arizona/Mexico border, and
some folk are afraid to come here. We have found this to be a serene and peaceful landscape. So if you like solitude this is the place (if you don't mind sharing the terrain with the 450 border patrol agents in this area!) We feel well protected.

Who is the lil critter hiding in the spines of the Fishhook cactus?

Ocotillo and Barrel cactus are buddies here.
