Interstate 8 east of Gila Bend Arizona

First day on the Texas road trip only took me a bit over 100 miles.

Freeman Road south Arizona

I have this favorite place I like to stay on BLM between Gila Bend and Casa Grande.

There’s really nothing there, that’s what makes it so perfect. Actually there’s lots there, just no civilization. My kind of place.

Ocotillo, saguaros & chollas in desert off Freeman Road Arizona

I was introduced to the southern Arizona desert, and this place, 14 years ago, been in love ever since.

Just a might too hot during the summer. Well, and the wind does tend to blow a bit much during the winter. But Tuesday afternoon was just right for a walk in the desert.

I found a lot of cool rocks, but decided to take pictures because they weigh less.

Even had company, for a few moments, when a friendly Border Patrol agent stopped into my camp. Don’t mind a bit if they know I’m there.

Later, it was just me and the song of the coyotes.
