Soon after breakfast, with temperatures only in the mid-40s, I rode out on Yagi heading west on the Valley of the Gods Road to both get pics of rock formations while the sun was not too high in the sky; and to catalog possible future campsites suitable for Umarang's needs.
I believe this rock formation is called DeGaulle and his followers
The Lady in the Bath tub
Returning to the campsite, I noticed a nearby site with a nice backdrop and more secluded was now available. I left Fiona on the site to "claim it" and then walked back to the old campsite (less than a tenth of a mile I think) and proceeded to break down camp and move everything over to the new site:
So far, the campers I've seen in the area want lots of space around them, no one seems to want company and that's fine by me.

Do you get a lot of wind in that open area? It seems like it would be windy. The photo with the sun directly over the formation is very good.
Thanks Oz, pretty mild winds so far but I imagine it wasn’t only the meager rain that has carved the existing rock formations!
Some lovely rock formations all around. Are you saying you set up “fake campsites” to make the area look full? 😂 I guess I need to hang onto my old tents after all. Might come in handy.
Thanks Bluekat and yes, lowdown move as it is, I’m finding it necessary to deploy the tent.
Deploying the “tent” for the weekend. It’ll be interesting to hear how it worked in the next post...
I’ve high hopes RichardM....
Wow....very nice area...how far off the pavement was your camping spot?
Not low down. I love it! 😆 seriously though, who goes out to boondock then parks right next to someone. Point is to get away from people. 🤦🏻♀️
I used to think people would realize such an obvious point Bluekat but recent experiences have shown some campers are clueless when it comes to what it means to boondocking and dispersed camping!
Nice, Dom. The one pic with the sun on top is a picture perfect moment. The formation reminds me of Castil de Tierra in the Spanish desert Bardenas Reales.
Thank you SonjaM, it was totally unplanned by me....just happened to look up and there it was.
