We left Warm Spring and headed out of the park via Henry Wade Road. Just before reaching Highway 127, we decided to stop by Saratoga Spring to look for desert pupfish:

We found some pupfish in this pool:

We reached pavement at Highway 127 and aired up. We gassed up in Baker and I headed to Los Angeles while the rest of the group returned to Arizona. I stopped for dinner in Barstow and got home shortly before midnight.
