I am packing now and will be heading to the southern part of the park for the weekend. I will post a trip report when we get back home. Looks like there could be some wind again this weekend and a chance of some more rain, sound exactly like last weekend. Hoping for more flowers than last weekend. Have not been to the southern half in a few weeks and it was so green last time we were there I can't wait to see it now. Maybe a hike into Indian Hill on Sunday depending on the weather. I'm really interested to see how much water is in that huge tank across from the pictograph cave.

Hey David,
I will be out in that area Saturday. Some friends want to do an Indian Hill hike and then we are going to drive over to Canyon Sin Nombre.
Look for a couple of diesel Toyota LandCruisers

Sorry I didn't see this until we got back today. We were in that area Saturday afternoon. We were climbing on the train cars by the water tank about 1:30. There were a couple of rigs up on the little mound by the tracks just a bit up from tower but I didn't really see what kind of rigs they were. They were playing some music. Was that you? Sorry we missed you. I will post a trip report in a bit.

No we were probably over by Arroyo Seco del Diablo by then. We hiked around Indian Hill for a bit and then drove down Canyon Sin Nombre to loop back to the S2.
We were hoping that this one spot where we had previously seen a lot of wildflowers would be worth checking outs. Unfortunately all we saw was Sahara Mustard.

From what I have been reading the invasive Sahara Mustard is choking out the native wildflowers.
Here is a shot in 2005 somewhere around Arroyo Seco del Diablo

Fantastic! I love the perspective making the pooch larger than the people. Adorable. Wonderful gradation of color on the mountains and sky, and also nice to see the flowers that I otherwise missed...

Thanks Cayenne,
I was out to the same area on Saturday of this week and unfortunately all we saw was Sahara Mustard
I am hoping that is not a sign of things to come in this area.
regards,
Bob
