Safford wasn’t our next destination but it was an easy overnight stop to break up our drive. The silence, wide open space and lack of neighbors was a welcome change from our week in Phoenix. It was such a welcome change that we weren’t in a hurry to get back on the road the next day so we decided to enjoy it and stay one more night.
Nothing but expansive views as far as the eye can see. Just the way we like it.
FINALLY…a cactus-free zone where dogs can be dogs!
These little shrubs were all around and sounded quite like a rattlesnake when the wind blew.
Have I told you about the LED rope light Mark installed in the Casita? It’s vastly more energy efficient than the factory-installed lighting and such a more pleasant source of light.
When you find this kind of peace, you try not to take it for granted. It’s precisely what we love about this kind of travel.
I may have grown up on the Western edge of Arizona but know nothing about it’s Eastern counterpart. It’s more mountainous than I’d expected and quite beautiful. We couldn’t have picked a better region to explore this time of year. From here we packed up, continued South and the scenery only got better. Stay tuned for next Thursday’s camp journal, which recaps our stay at one of our new all-time favorite boondocking spots!
Looking great! Even though we are in Key West for a couple of day, those pics make us want to roam the SW ????
I bet your photos would make us want to be in FL! Hope you’re having a great time!
we’re fellow 4-wheel campers – and prefer the boonies
that’s why we retired to this little spot
i enjoy following your blog, especially the gear info
we live in Portal, AZ, in the Chiricahua Mts, close to Safford
you should try Sunny Flat campground on east side of Chiricahuas, in Cave Creek Canyon
probably not too busy now
or come see us – you can camp at our place
we have power next to our pump house and i think your rigs should get in/out ok
we can show you some good places up north (BC, Alaska)
