Arizona 2024
The 2 foot walk to the washroom for those middle of the night visits seem just as inconvenient as the 25 foot walk at home. We have been watching an episode of Murder in Paradise most evenings as we try and get through as many as possible before our Britbox subscription runs out. Spoiler alert:…
While visions of Sonoran hotdogs danced in his head. You can heard the highway and train tracks here at Picacho. But, it’s more like white noise. For this morning’s walk I had a mission to walk up to the entry gate and get our “pass” for our new campsite. I had figured it was about…
Sleep was good. Somewhat interesting that at this “Luxury” RV resort, full of RVs equipped with outdoor TVs, stereo systems that can be heard for kilometres and a whole bunch of freedom of expression fanatics, that we have never really been woken up by any of them. Morning walk was around the streets and campgrounds….
Well hello there! Morning walk was NOT on yesterday’s path. I popped over to the location of the taco truck as a dry run for tonight’s dinner. Mission successful. Taco truck is only 550 meters away. Dinner plans complete. Finish the walk amongst the acres of RV dealers and this here campground. Day was uneventful….
Howdy. No star gazing here last night, nor ever. But that is not why we are here. Pretty good night sleep considering the trains, planes, highway and people. I decided to follow the share use path for my morning walk. It is about 1km to the nearest access point. Off I went past acres of…
This is the start of week three. Wow. We would like to thank all of the shooters and tryst participants for staying away last night as we had a wonderful night’s sleep. Must say, that little spot by the side of the road, replete with nature, was pretty darn good. For the morning walk I…
Lovely night sleep in this not so secret free camping spot. Morning walk was down one of the unnamed trails over towards the Saguaro National Forest (east section). I did not make it there, turned back after a few kms. I did cross into the Arizona Trust land. As I crossed the dirt road in…
Well hello there! Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of wind which may offend some audience members. When I took off my watch last night I noticed it was exactly at 10,000 steps for the day. There is nothing personally meaningful about that other than I liked that it was exactly 10,000. Back in the…
Silence and stars. The wind eventually died down, the sky was pretty clear. We slept in the quiet while occasionally glancing at the stars. By morning, there was zero wind and we were amazed at the silence. None of the sites near us were occupied. Maybe because of the incredible winds? Morning walk I decided…
Note that I am taking some geographical liberty with the city name. The official address of the state park is in Faywood, NM. But right next to Faywood, NM is Dwyer, NM. The weather apps give our location as all kinds of different names. Thus, I can pick what I want. Pretty good night sleep….
