Jef tried to go up Alma Wash to his first register placed in Starfish Cove, but went up wrong canyon. Made it up to top of western-most peaks of Vallecitos range, where some interesting geologic formations were found. Also, views of the Gypsum Mine were found at the top. This was a 6 hour hike, and climbed about 1800' from start.

After an hour, reached the mouth of the canyon	After 3.5 hours, reached the top	View of Carrizo Badlands	Found this cairn on one of the summits
Impressive terraine. Some cliffs may exceed 300' vertical.	Looking down chasm toward Salton Sea	Looking toward Gypsum Mine	Looking toward Gypsum Mine
Some of those gnarly cliffs	Actually found some standing water on this hike (it rained 2 weeks earlier)
