I'd spent the last couple of days mostly relaxing in the gazebo tent, listening to audio books and doing minor chores.
Wednesday's sunset was pretty good:
A sacred site for the Tohono O'odham Nation, you can apparently hike up its western side (with permission of course).
According to Tohono O'odham cosmology, Baboquivari Peak represents the center of their universe, and is also the home of I'itoli, their Rock God and creator. The entire wilderness area is at a relatively high elevation, ranging from 4,500 feet to 7,730 feet
The pics range from the closest point on which I've previously camped to near my present campsite within the BANWR.

Really nice sunset photos!
Pretty area! Good to just relax isn’t it?
Just curious but what books do you listen to?
Thanks RichardM
Oz, not too wide a range...usually with military or ex-military protagonist, recently binged on the Bosch books by Michael Connelly, lots of science fiction with usually a military bent.
Photo #8 illlustrates why the Tohono O'odham Nation consider this to be a god and the center of their universe. A transformer god rising up in a grante human form seems a real possibility in this day and age of cinema.
Did you have to ask for permission from the Tohono O'odham Nation permission to camp there?
Thanks for sharing.
Yw, CCjon. No permission needed to camp east of the Baboquivari wilderness, it's part of Santa Margarita Ranch I believe and they grant camping access.
Looks peaceful! Any winds?
No winds till today and through tomorrow.....
