| Tortugas Mountain and a bit of the Organs |
We started off on our usual route, but made a wide loop out of left branch arroyo, bushwhacking across to another arroyo, following it south and then climbing to the top of the steep ridge east of us.
We followed the ridge to the north, dropping back down into the lower desert just before climbing the hill we've visited frequently of late.
We saw the Basset people and their hounds as we were leaving; they waited at the junction of the upper flatland road and LDR until we passed them, all (except the canines) waving hello to each other.

I like the photo of the gnarly old Ocotillo.
