Like I said in the last post, we had a STRONG storm Saturday night. That effectively locked us on base for the day as the road to Las Cruces was closed...again. So after an early start to my brew day (Helles Bock), Ian and I drove over the pass to the west side of the Organ Mountains to Dripping Springs. The road that goes to Dripping Springs had two large washouts, one still running with water.
We stopped and pulled the car off the side of the road to inspect things. High clearance vehicles had no problems on either side.
We ultimately stuck to the left (high) side of the washout, and had no problems.
The hike from the visitors center to Dripping Springs (more of a waterfall with all the rain we've had) was mostly uphill, but the path was gravel, and so easy to travel. We only had to scoot around 2 tarantulas along the way.
It was only about 1-1.5 miles up, and the scenery was spectacular.
This photo (above) is from a picnic area - La Cueva. I love the rocky ridge here - very photogenic. I'll be sure to come during a sunset one of these days.
Have a great day everyone!
Marc
