We left San Luis to attend a safely distanced rally in Patagonia Lake State Park in Arizona, south of Tucson in March. We had rain the night before we left but awoke to a beautiful morning. We decided to take the south route to Yucca Valley and then to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument before the rally.

Well, the weather changed as we approached the Palmdale area, rain, wind, dust, and traffic. Bummer! We arrived at the Yucca Valley Elks in a wind storm and found no one there, no electricity, and no water. The forecast was wind and 30 degrees! We decided to try 29 Palms and found a nice RV park for the night. Then off on a beautiful day to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. We decided to take the back roads to avoid Interstate 10 as much as possible. It worked! Beautiful drive and no traffic.

Organ Pipe Cactus is a beautiful area, great hikes, and a great campground, right on the Mexico border in the Sonoran Desert. We’ll be back! (Prophetic words)
