On a hot desert morning last week, a group of 20 tourists gathered in
the visitor center in Arizona's Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument to
attend a mandatory safety briefing before taking a guarded van tour to
Quitobaquito springs. The springs is part of the 69 percent of the
remote border park west of Tucson that has been closed to the public
since Kris Eggle, a 28-year-old law enforcement park ranger, was shot
and killed while pursuing drug runners armed with AK-47s in 2002.
