Organ Pipe National Monument 11/10/2003 Driving home from Estero Morua. Noodles and me.

Estero Morua 11/16/1974 I guess this was the year before we bought the beach house! Thanksgiving but exact date a guess. remarks: Birdlife very abundant. Water would foam from their dives. Sky would darken with the birds. This was the Organ pipe trip where the big bull kangarooo rat jumped on us while we slept. Check out that card in organ pipe. Phainopeplas and loggerhead shrikes were also present there.

Organ Pipe National Monument 6/22/2017 No Notes Entered

Organ Pipe National Monument 11/3/2019 Sally and I went to the visitor center.

Estero Morua 10/10/2011 Whipped on down bringing no food. Caught two tiny rock bass. Temperature was rather hot fishing. Not bad but you needed sunscreen. Nice nice weather. Quiet too. Met Margaret and son Theo. They live in the house in front of us from which the internet emanates. One Enrigue said that the oyster catchers are disappearing and it was true that I didn't see one. Internet didn't work well. Steve was in town when I got there as he thought he had no propane. There was a huge tank in the garbage can. Enrique nearly got squashed by Steve's car when the jack started leaning over. Slept on the couch. Good sleeping. Cops followed me to the border from the turn left there after Vaquez's Licores. Two pick-ups. Speed signs said 20 km/hr. Oh, it was torture keeping that speed. They finally passed me and they had machine guns. Had a bacon cheese burger at Lukeville. I stopped at the AJO MOUNTAINS WAYSIDE in Organ Pipe. Stopped at the Mesquite Leak Rest Stop and found obsidian that looks like fire agate to me. I was happy to find them.
