Red Tank hike in Organ Pipe Cactus

We had a lovely hike, clear sunny skies, and great hiking companions. The park's van took seven of us to the trailhead and we walked back to the campground. This trail overlapped with a drug runners' trail through one of the washes.

A well used trail through a wash. We could deduce its path for other than hikers by what was left behind. 


There were more black water jugs than our two trash retrievers could carry. Black water jugs instead of white are used because they are not visible to border patrol at night.

Another discard on the trail was a bicycle used to carry the payload until it became a liability.

Out of the wash and on the usual landscape of the Sonoran Desert.  Helen
