Once the work was complete, Adria gave me an orientation to Humane Borders. Here she is explaining the maps that show migrant deaths (red dots) and mark water stations. Humane Borders does a lot of work to document migrant travel in hopes to place water in strategic places to reduce and eliminate migrant deaths.
I took some time this afternoon to visit Saguaro National Park where I learned a lot I didn't know about the Saguaro cactus. (Today's venture gives me some idea of my living conditions in the desert next week. OK, so I didn't need to see all the rattlesnake information. YIKES! Pray I don't see any real ones - or any tarantulas.)
It was certainly a HOT one today. When I returned to the car, Gumby was melting. Note that my car is registering the temperature to be 113 degrees.
Tomorrow I'll make a water run with Humane Borders in the morning, meet with Border Patrol in the afternoon, and have a dinner meeting with No Mas Muertes desert working group.
