A nice sunrise greeted me this morning:
I left the Picacho Peak area after breakfast and was soon on the outskirts of Tucson, Arizona doing a banking chore. That completed, I kept driving on interstate 10 towards the New Mexico border, which I reached at 11:37 a.m.
I chose to stay at a BLM spot that I had found and liked during my last trip through this area. I found a better spot, I hope, than the spot I use last time. It is further away from the main gate and out of side of the NM 152 highway.
I think I got the area all to myself for now, no other camping rigs within line of sight for sure. I'll explore further out tomorrow.
Altitude: 4967 feet, a gain of over 3000 ft from my previous site near Picacho Peak! I expect I'll wake to cooler temperatures! The afternoon temperatures when I showed up here were warm but the cloudy skies get the sun from feeling too hot.
