It was a great day at the Desert Sonora Museum with fourteen of us. They were Larry, Leena, Lin, Cecilia, Michael, Carl, Li, Tom, Daniel, Meng, Barb, Rich, Billie, Neil. Most people drove directly to DSM; however, Michael, Carl and Lin met at the Gulf Gas station at 7 am to carpool there. The drive was very smooth, and everyone was there at the gate before 8:45 am.

After the Raptor Free Fight, we decided to have a quick bite at the Ocotillo Café before our walk. What a great choice the restaurant was quiet when we were there, we were able to get three tables outside for everyone. The food was very good, and it was served very quickly.
