After a few more restful days at the AZ State Trust site near Catalina, AZ, it was time this morning to move to different scenery.
I displaced less than 30 miles. First, parking the VRRV in the way-too-crowded BLM dispersed camping area near Cattle Tanks Road! Holy Cow. (pun intended).
I unloaded Yagi, my TW200, and set out to find a less crowded site. I found one closer to this displacement's main objective: Picacho Peak. It's also on AZ Trust Land but I've got the permit so am good to go.
I got Scarlett, my Ural Patrol sidecar rig, off the trailer and posed her a little closer to Picacho Peak:

I actually hiked to the very top of Picacho Peak back in 2020, a bit over 5 years ago. LINK I'm pretty sure I won't be doing a repeat of that!
I'm planning on camping here until I run short of fresh water. I should have enough to get me through the weekend, if not, there's a water point near the Picacho Peak State Park I think.
As a bonus, the single Class C that had been in the site before me, left at 1PM, leaving the entire site to myself. Let's see how long that lasts.
Note, sunny and warm but WINDY!

That is a cool formation and I bet the view from the top is great. Enjoy your time.
The link for the top side views is in the link, Oz....I'll concentrate on views from base level this time. ;)
Hiked to the top of that peak, you are too modest... did not know you were a rock climber as well!
Glad to hear you got the frig and slideout working again. Enjoy your peace and solitude there.
I understand.
Not quite the rock climber CCjon, there's cables at the steep spots that one can use to pull ones left up and down....five years ago I was a bit more physically able.
