Porcupine Wash loop

Name:	Porcupine Wash loop
Description:	A loop hike in the lower Colorado desert of Joshua Tree NP. Started at the backcountry trail register of Porcupine wash, and went up the wash and then west hitting an old jeep track, that leads to a mill site. Had a lunch there, and then hiked another mile or so to a northern tributary of Porcupine Wash and then down the wash back to the car. The lower part of the wash (going north) was reasonably narrow.
