CAVEAT EMPTOR

A couple of desert miles south of Why, AZ. we see an Anglo geriatric duo strolling the shoulder of route 85, the Sonoita Highway that punches directly into Mexico. I register it as unusual, given the proximity of illegals and drug trafficking but pay it no further notice....until Jackie says, "Hey, is that the place." The lights went on in my dark room and remember it is the place we'd talked about, "Gunsight Wash."

Slowing and lumbering gently to a wide spot in the road, we do a 180 with our 30 foot home and head back to find the BLM wash. This is one of the "This is your land and my land," 14 day free, dry, sometimes called, boondocking camping spots. No water/electric/sewer at this location.

We follow a gravel trail from the highway and come to this sign...Is this a "Hold Harmless" absolving our government of potential lawsuits or an honest attempt to alert would-be campers? 

After a slow-crawl over the desert two-track and past a half dozen other campers,we find "our spot," secluded but not so far away that we aren't able to spot a couple of other rigs.  Beautiful country, wide open and welcoming after so many RV parks.

This might be the fattest and oldest Saguaro cactus I've ever met.

Jackie put out a handful of carrot chum trying to lure-in the wild burros as the sun blazed the evening sky.
