I learned you need to make sure your car is full of gas and you have food and water. There are very few places to stop along the way and long distances between them!<br /><br />Dawn, it is a wonderful place and breath-takingly beautiful. Spring is the best time, summer the worst. Make sure you fill up with gas and have food and water on the way. Once you get close there are a couple of gas stations on the crossroad before you enter the monument but other than that, nothing! wonderful hiking though (I think) and I also think there is camping there. You and Jeff would love it!Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-66220160083357447702010-04-22T09:38:47.383-07:002010-04-22T09:38:47.383-07:00I have never been to Organ pipe..it looks like a w...I have never been to Organ pipe..it looks like a wonderful place..putting it on my list!<br />Wonderful landscape and birdie shots!Dawn Finehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320576787003821586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-36792497498764395652010-04-21T20:01:39.982-07:002010-04-21T20:01:39.982-07:00I haven't been to Organ Pipe Cactus in many ye...I haven't been to Organ Pipe Cactus in many years and it's still as breathtaking going along with Kathryn and you.
