We were joined by Chris and Lori Z. of BlazeOurWay fame the last 3 days that we were camped at the Hot Well Dunes. It was good to meet up with these two again since Fall of last year.
The weather, which was chilly, precluded much riding. Just as well since we didn't have the requisite orange flags one is supposed to fly in the dunes area. The BLM rangers even came by to give us this information.
On Monday, January 13, we displaced to the Indian Bread BLM Rec Area, doing chores in nearby Willcox, AZ along the way. (Dumping of tanks, filling up of water tanks, replenishing propane).
We went through two regular weeks of propane usage in one due to cold conditions at night which saw temperatures in the low 20s! The feed tube from the fresh water tank froze as usual, but Chris Z. had some pipe insulation and experience with such matters. Once I located the right tube (all these years, I had the wrong one in my mind), the insulation remedied the frozen tube condition!
Lori Z. picked out the sites at Indian Bread BLM, good sites for our two rigs next to some nice rock piles.

Great time to take photos of the moon as it was the "Wolf Moon." Hope the temps rise so you don't run through the propane so quickly.
Oz, Wolf Moon eh?
It’s thought that January’s full Moon came to be known as the Wolf Moon because wolves were more likely to be heard howling at this time. It was traditionally believed that wolves howled due to hunger during winter, but we know today that isn’t accurate. - Almanac.com
