Arizona

About 60 miles north of Douglas, Arizona we backed the rig off a dirt road and onto this two-track.  Hope no one decides to use it, other than us. 

Solitude doesn't find you, one must search.  We found ours about 6 miles from Portal, AZ., 60 miles north of Douglas, AZ.  The Border Patrol are extremely active in this area.  Don't know if it a cartel drug route, mules (illegals with a backpack full of drugs) or just regular illegals trying to find a large metro area to blend in and find a job.

Our location, surrounded by mountains,  thorn bushes and rocks.  Still in the high desert, 4,000 ft.  We found this spot by using the Delorme computer maps.  What's shown here is Arizona State Trust Land.  I guess it's OK to camp on but the Internet talks about some type of permit required.  Without anyone ....  no one .... to ask, we just plunked down for the night and hoped we wouldn't get roused-out.

The morning chill produced an icicle coming from the hot water heater.  Nothing serious, just a       loose drain plug.  Morning temps here have been a steady 26 to 29 degrees and warming up to      high 60's by noon.  I know my northern friends laugh at a little frozen drip when their average high is 15 degrees.
