Indian Bread Rocks boulders birds & boondocking

light boulders Indian Bread Rocks RA Bowie AZI spent 14 days during early May free camping at Indian Bread Rocks and even got up the nerve to climb the boulders.  Lots of space for boondocking, adequate signal, friendly four-legged bovine neighbors, and a bonus June full moon.

rock pillars Chiricahua NM AZChiricahua National Monument

map route CHIR to INBRAfter visiting Chiricahua National Monument I drove north to Wilcox where I bought propane and diesel then went east to Bowie and south to Indian Bread Rocks Recreation Area.  I kind of went the long way around, but with purpose.

boulders Indian Bread Rocks Rec Area BLM Bowie AZThis BLM managed site looks at the Dos Cabezas Mountains (Spanish for Two Heads) from the opposite side of Chiricahua.  And the rocks are a whole lot different.

truckcamper sunset reflection Indian Bread Rocks RA BLM Bowie AZAfter scoping out a couple places to park I chose a large and level space within sight of the gravel road and day-use area with an amazing view and signal too.  My nearest neighbor, barely in sight over 100 feet away, ran a noisy generator the first afternoon and thankfully pulled out the next morning.  The replacement neighbor was quiet.

last light boulders Indian Bread Rocks Rec Area BLM Bowie AZBecause I was totally stocked I could stay in this amazing place for a full 14 days.  And thus, there will be even more photos than usual.

The palpable silence was only broken by delightful bird song from the nearby Mesquite tree.

longhorn cow Indian Bread Rocks BLM Bowie AZOh, and the startlingly loud lowing, which comes from a word that means to shout, MOO of a cow leading a few others to graze among the boulders every morning, then back to wherever in the late afternoon.  Indian Bread Rocks is managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) which allows grazing on public lands.  I spent a bit of time sitting outside chasing shade while watching my newest world go by.

Sierra by truck tire Indian Bread Rocks BLM Bowie AZSierra decided she wanted outside as well and head bumped the screen door open. Took me three days of thinking how to better latch that door and even longer to get to a hardware store for a hook-n-eye latch.

Sierra cat outside Indian Bread Rocks RA Bowie AZIn the meantime, I put Sierra’s harness on with no fuss, clipped on her leash, carried her outside and she went straight under the shade and safety of the truck.  I took a short video that went viral. (She gets better numbers than I do.)  Then she immediately backed out of the harness and went wandering straight into the thick leafy duff under the Mesquite.  I ended that foray not quite quick enough to keep her extra-long fur from acting like a leaves-magnet before putting her back in the camper.  Sierra isn’t keen on being brushed but will let me trim a little so within a few days sported a rather choppy haircut.

Cottontail Indian Bread Rocks BLM Bowie AZBut she’s figured it out now and continued to bump the door open.  If she’d stay close by or come when she’s called it might work.  But I worry, so back inside she finally goes.  With temperatures in the high 80s I have to keep the outside door open for air flow.  I blocked her way with water bottles in front of the door.

The mornings felt cool at 65° before climbing into the low to mid 80s.  My signal was good enough to post on the blog and with some patience load videos.  The first of May, and I was still sharing stories from March and April.

Mesquite boulders clouds Indian Bread Rocks BLM Bowie AZLater in the day under clouds it felt like a sultry Spring desert day, warm enough to be dressed for summer.  And even though I was in no hurry to leave Indian Bread Rocks, temperatures would rise into the 90s in another week or so. That meant I researched ahead to possible next destinations that included weather and boondocking options.  Maybe the Tonto National Forest and Roosevelt Lake.  Or Hwy 191, known as the Coronado Trail, north through the White Mountains with 460 curves. Paved all the way through the Apache-Sitgrieves National Forest sounded like my kind of road but possibly too much elevation and cold temperatures.

The next morning while processing the moon shots I was serenaded and distracted by birds.  No complaint.  Managed to upload a 360° camp view at Mittry Lake video that took over an hour.

I put off leaving Indian Bread Rocks for a few more days but also started to make a plan for my next stop.  A cold front would keep me from going to the 11,000 foot White Mountains.  Nice thing about boondocking 1-2 weeks in a place is being part of the landscape unlike a short visit. And even that is often not long enough.

truckcamper Sunshine RV Park Safford AZThen headed north to Sunshine RV Park in Safford for the night to dump, fill, and take a much appreciated long hot shower, all for $25.  Appears lots of working folks live here but a nice quiet place and I had a good view.  In the morning I shopped, including that latch for the screen door, and continued on my journey.

Video of Indian Bread Rocks here.

If you’re wondering how I find these places, lots of apps for free/wild/dispersed camping/boondocking.  My recent favorite is iOverlander as it’s still free and shows what I need: propane, RV dump & potable water, free camping, campgrounds, and more.

Boondock on Darby Wells Road Ajo Arizona

February 3 – 6, 2017

Mexican Insurance Company Ajo ArizonaI tried to leave the Phoenix area as quickly as possible and headed south, almost to the border, to boondock on Darby Wells Road just south of Ajo, Arizona.  Gotta’ love the BLM land for a free 14-day stay on the simply divine Sonoran Desert.

Relief map around Ajo ArizonaStopped in Ajo at Belly Acres RV Park, recommended by the Bayfield Bunch, to dump tanks and take on water for a mere $7.  Right friendly people just as Al said.

Prieta Cabeza National Wildlife Refuge visitor center Ajo ArizonaAlso stopped when I saw a sign for the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge.  Although the visitor center is small this third largest (in the lower 48) 860,000 acre refuge protects a vast Sonoran Desert landscape most of which is designated wilderness.  Due to the rugged terrain and extreme climate an entry permit is required along with 4×4 which I don’t have.  But I learned a lot at the visitor center and figured I’d be camping on the same desert without out all the requirements.

 

Saguaros Darby Wells Road BLM Ajo ArizonaSo I continued south of Ajo turning right on Darby Wells Road and in about 1 1/2 miles found a side road to the left and a nice secluded place to call home for a while.  The gravel road is in pretty good condition and I saw some very big rigs scattered across the landscape, nobody too close to each other.  Just how I like it.  It is in sight of the sloped walls, I assume tailing piles, of the open pit New Cornelia copper mine.

Sunset Darby Wells Road BLM Ajo ArizonaExcept my second night when a group of three caravanning RVs decided to park what I consider too close, and basically at the road junction.  They ran generators and had barking dogs.  And one late afternoon I heard shooting out on the desert behind me which I didn’t care for a bit.  Thank goodness they quit after a Border Patrol vehicle went flying by but did not stop.

Saguaros Darby Wells Road BLM Ajo Arizona                            Palo Verde Darby Wells Road BLM Ajo Arizona

Three and a half days over a weekend, worked out perfect to get some blog posts written, and lots of photos taken and processed.  The internet signal was speedy.  It’s really too bad day light on the laptop screen makes it near impossible to work outside.  So I’d sit inside during the mornings, then when the heat of the day hit at 70+°F outside and more inside I’d take myself out for either a walk in the desert or find a shady place for the chair and read.  Current two books are, Interpretation: Making a Difference on Purpose by Sam H. Ham for a training program I’m putting together for our North Rim staff this spring, and Glen Canyon Betrayed: A Sensuous Elegy by Katie Lee.  If you like Southwest landscapes, are a nature enthusiast, and an advocate for public lands I highly recommend the Lee book.

Sisters Fiddle Festival Ajo Arizona                   Fiddle Festival Ajo Arizona

Sunday I met friend and fellow Ranger Cynthia in Ajo for breakfast then we went to the Country Club for the last day of the Fiddle Festival.  Heard some great foot stomping music played by young and old alike.

Being surrounded by saguaro, ocotillo, palo verde, and of course cholla and creosote bush seemed dream like.  I watched birds flit in and out too quickly for photos and hawks search for a meal.

Last day in Joshua Tree National Park

First light on boulders Jumbo Rocks Campground Joshua Tree National Park CaliforniaAwoke to glorious sunshine lighting up the boulders outside my window at Jumbo Rocks campground.  And even though it was chilly cold I got out for some photos on my last day in Joshua Tree National Park.

Ranger Pam leads geology tour Joshua Tree National Park California

Person on boulders Joshua Tree National Park CaliforniaAttended a 9am Ranger-lead geology walk near the campground and Skull Rock.  These rock piles began underground eons ago as molten magma called monzogranite.  Sometimes quartz veins pushed through the molten rock which you can see above.  Then as it cooled and crystallized, cracks formed horizontally and vertically.  Chemical weathering caused by groundwater eroded the granite blocks widening cracks and rounding edges eventually eroding the surface soil and leaving these piles exposed for further erosion.

Skull Rock Joshua Tree National Park CaliforniaThe short one hour walk began and ended at the famous Skull Rock or optionally continued into the campground.  Most Ranger activities are geared for weekends, when I really didn’t want to be there.  In fact I noticed it getting more crowded as the Friday morning progressed and as I drove out lots of vehicles drove in to reinforce my desire to leave.

Rock climbing route at Hemingway Buttress Joshua Tree National Park CaliforniaBut I did stop and admire some boulders along the way.  You know how I love rocks.

Boulders Hemingways Joshua Tree National Park CaliforniaThe nature sculpted granite provides vertical and horizontal cracks with a rough texture which attracts rock climbers from around the world.

Ranger Nick & Gaelyn with Junior Ranger badge Joshua Tree National Park CaliforniaStopped at the Visitor Center in Joshua Tree to get my Junior Ranger badge and bought a Mojave Desert wildflower book.  I always learn so much about a park completing the Junior Ranger book and this one is the largest I’ve seen at 30 pages.  Of course the kids don’t have to finish all the pages like an adult does.  Also got information on BLM free camping at the edge of town and an outdoor art display.

BLM overflow camping Joshua Tree California

Sunset & solar panels BLM Joshua Tree CaliforniaThe BLM overflow camping is about five minutes from Joshua Tree which is a funky small town with a couple restaurants, a tiny health food store and a good old fashioned hippie vibe.  Major shopping requires a 15 mile (24 km) drive to 29 Palms or 10 miles (16 km) to Yucca Valley which was my choice.  The actual BLM is nothing to brag about with lots of broken glass to watch out for and my site was full of shotgun shells though the view was nice.  I was very glad of the specific directions along the rough gravel roads.  Saw less than a dozen groups of people an adequate distance away and the area would be large RV friendly.  It is barely within sight of night-time lights from Highway 62 and near a large solar farm.

Morning view of San Jacinto Peak with setting moon BLM Joshua Tree CaliforniaThe following morning I watched moon set next to the snowy San Jacinto Peak while I planned the day.

Motorized parasail BLM Joshua Tree CaliforniaThen I heard a buzzing sound and looked up.  This version had a motor and I’d rather fly with the wind to get a bird’s eye view.

Went into Yucca Valley to check out the Sky Village Market Place where I’d sold my flea market wares in days past.  A quick walk about satisfied my curiosity and I didn’t see anybody I knew or buy anything.  Also stopped at the Joshua Tree Farmers Market where I picked up a few organic fruits and vegetables.

Noah Purifoy's Outdoor Desert Art Museum of assemblage sculpture Joshua Tree CaliforniaNext I went in search of the recommended Noah Purifoy’s Outdoor Desert Art Museum of assemblage sculpture before looking up a friend in town.

Joshua Tree National Park CaliforniaFive week-days visiting Joshua Tree National Park was adequate but it would take a lifetime to explore it all.  I think spring and fall would be the ideal times to visit, summer temperatures could be brutal and winter nights quite cold.

Hi, I’m Gaelyn, the Geogypsy

I retired after 29 summer seasons as a Park Ranger, traveling solo for 40+ years. My passions include travel, connecting to nature, photography, and sharing stories.

I started exploring US National Parks in 1977 and 20 years later became a seasonal Park Ranger.  I’ve lived full-time in a RV for 30 years working summers and playing winters.  I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow old, other than grow up.

Let’s share our stories.  Here’s more of mine…

I am currently…

…boondocking somewhere in southern Arizona.  In the area, give a shout.
