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.

Great sunrise. One thing about flatter land is the views of both sunrises and sunsets.
Thanks Oz, and quite true....now for some clouds to catch the light more.....
It looks like a beautiful area. Did Martha’s flight work out?
