Celebrating 68 years while boondocking in the Sonoran Desert

desert mt sunset clouds BLM8115A Why AZBirthdays are important to me, especially my own, so I invited everyone I know—and a few I don’t—to a party in the desert for celebrating 68 years.  One person showed up and that was good enough for me.  We stayed SO busy that I am now weeks behind writing while also learning about video.  More on that coming.  Please, go subscribe!

road desert mts clouds BLM Bates Well Rd Why AZAfter enjoying a week of solitude and shooting the moon, I needed a town fix.  LOL!  Actually I needed to stock up for an extended desert stay with company coming for my birthday.

Paul & Gaelyn RV BLM8115A Why AZI returned to yet another new #campBatesWell3 driving further into the desert and joined Paul at his lovely large site.  We caught up on the winter’s travels that may have been missed on Facebook.

I spent the evening watching videos about making videos, and getting ideas.  This is a new challenge with a constant learning curve.  It will be a lot of work and I need a plan, starting with a specific niche.  I am a naturalist and like to understand nature and share the stories.  This might be like writing ranger programs.  It’s definitely a work in progress.

Saguaro desert BLM8115A Why AZPaul left the next morning and I wandered around the area to find “my” choice site.  Didn’t have far to go and settled into my newest yard on the toes of a boulder strewn volcanic mountain surrounded by dense and diverse Sonoran Desert.

unidentified rock BLM8115A Why AZWhile exploring I am always looking down to avoid walking on plants or tripping on something, but also I’m looking at rocks.  I find many that look like red jasper or rhyolite with composite like patches of something silvery.  Not exactly sure what it is except pretty.

Saguaro Ocotillo desert BLM8115A Why AZI acquaint myself with the nearby landscape, acknowledging the plants by name.  So dry I can feel their cry and see deep accordion pleats in the thirsty Saguaro cactus.

Ocotillo Saguaro sunburst BLM8115A Why AZSaguaro shadows BLM8115A Why AZ

The deserquies (my personal word for desert quiet) is palpable.  Until dusk when I heard an owl give a hoot.

last light desert BLM8115A Why AZSunset laid a glow across the land living up to the golden hour.  Not spectacular, yet soothing.

Sandee pulling into camp BLM8115A Why AZLong time high school friend Sandee arrived to camp in her minivan on Thursday, my birthday was Saturday.  I shouldn’t say she was the only one to party with me celebrating 68 years.  I celebrated the entire month of March and had the perfect amount of visitors to my various desert camps.

birthday cakeShe brought me a nice lavender sweatshirt that reads “Happy Vibes Only”, oranges off her yard tree, milk, toilet paper, and the biggest super-duper Chocolate-chocolate cake.

We went for a short walk and I introduced her to some desert plants and even played the Organ Pipe Cactus.  Then we sat outside in the shade of the camper all afternoon catching up.

desert sunset clouds BLM8115A Why AZAfter a dinner of cheater chicken-mole with tortillas and fried green tomato on the side we watched the after glow of sunset and stayed out for stars and a few scatter bombs courtesy of the military.

desert mts sunset clouds BLM8115A Why AZ

campfire BLM8115A Why AZThe next day reached 90+° so we spent the afternoon sitting in the shade once again chatting away.  Now if you know me, you’ll know that’s mostly me chatting because I am a blabber mouth.  Just ask anybody who’s met me.  Not sure where the day went but we ate a lot of cake.  And even had a small campfire just before a matching magnificent sunset.  You know, life just doesn’t get much better.

desert sunrise clouds BLM8115A Why AZ

desert sunrise clouds BLM8115A Why AZFinally, my birthday arrived with a beautiful sunrise and it was once again a 90+° day, unheard of for this mid-west born in a snowstorm gal.

Ocotillo Saguaro BLM8115A Why AZOnce again sat outside in the shade watching the desert world around us.  Had to laugh when seeing a ground squirrel climb the swaying branch of an Ocotillo then chew off a flower cluster and climb back down to retrieve that succulent meal.  I couldn’t even blow the candles out.

desert sunset clouds BLM8115A Why AZdesert sunset clouds BLM8115A Why AZ

Spent a large portion of the day replying to birthday wishes on Facebook and the blog.  Thank you to everybody including anyone I missed.  Ended my special day with an evening serenade by an owl and coyotes.

desert sunrise clouds BLM8115A Why AZHope I haven’t set a precedence for my new year by getting up in time to shoot sunrise two days in a row.

Sandee by Organ Pipe Cactus BLM8115A Why AZThough only in the high 80s we still didn’t get far from the shade.

Watched a beautiful yellow and black bird on the Ocotillo and later identified as a Scott’s Oriole.  Birder friends told me they are just passing through.

Gaelyn Saguaro cactus BLM8115A Why AZSandee took videos of me doing a nature walk around camp.  I had on a moo-moo style dress that blew in the wind and sunburned my arms above the farmer’s tan line.  I won’t be using any of these videos on YouTube but it was good practice for me.  Something I need lots of.

mts sunset clouds BLM8115A Why AZAnd of course we ate more cake.  At this rate I’ll not be able to wear anything but a moo-moo.

Sandee left Monday morning under cloudy skies and a strong southwest wind to blow her home.  We talked, laughed, and maybe even cried a little while celebrating 68 years of my life.  Then I contemplated how much longer I could stay at this camp with enough food—including cake—water, and propane.  By afternoon the camper was rocking and I wondered if the wind can tip this whole unit over.  Nawww…   The clouds increased and rain fell, or should I say blew sideways.  Was just enough moisture to tease the air with petrichor.  I didn’t even try to open the door into 24mph gusts.  It’s days like this when I get more done on the computer like write, edit or label photographs.

desert anticrepuscular rays rainbow clouds BLM8115A Why AZBut then the clouds broke apart and late afternoon sun lit up the earth and sky.  I knew there would be a rainbow nearby.  Sure enough.  So I braved my way outside during a brief lull in the wind with hopes of capturing the Vultures soaring in front of the rainbow.

desert anticrepuscular rays rainbow clouds BLM8115A Why AZ

desert anticrepuscular rays rainbow clouds BLM8115A Why AZOh what a show!  Anticrepuscular rays broke the rainbow pattern into pieces of magical light.

desert anticrepuscular rays rainbow clouds BLM8115A Why AZ

desert anticrepuscular rays rainbow clouds BLM8115A Why AZThe rainbows came and went teasing me in and out for over an hour.  The camper steps up and down at least gave me some exercise after a long day of sitting at the computer.

desert dark clouds dbl rainbow rainbow clouds BLM8115A Why AZUltimately, the late light revealed a double rainbow.  With more rain predicted for the next day I looked forward to another day in the desert, still celebrating 68 years of life.

desert mt clouds BLM8115A Why AZA light southern wind pushed puffy clouds across the sky all day.  I sauntered a bit around the base of my neighboring mini mountain, or Sky Island, sort of following a trail probably made my animals and enhanced by humans.

desert clouds BLM8115A Why AZThough only 67°, the recent heat has awakened a lot of life in the desert so I am even more aware of my surroundings as I don’t want to startle a snake.  Having said that, I have never seen a rattlesnake while walking in the desert.  Maybe that’s because I’m noisy and slow giving them plenty of time to slip away.

desert clouds BLM8115A Why AZSpent the next two days working on video.  For me that begins with at least some notes or an outline of an idea.  Really is like creating a Ranger program.  I have document files for ideas.  I needed a theme: Exploring the diversity of plants and animals in the Sonoran Desert.  I like to connect the dots with how the natural world works together in order to survive.  (We should learn from life on the planet other than our own.)  Hopefully the finished video is educational and entertaining.  (Please let me know.)

Saguaro cactus BLM8115A Why AZNext I spent several hours taking short videos of not much more than 30 seconds each.  Often stopping and restarting as I caught myself beginning every one with “So…”  A bad and annoying habit to break.  Or I’d just forget what I wanted to talk about.  Oops, senior moment.  I’m used to public speaking and still photography, but I suddenly found myself having to walk and talk at the same time while trying to hold steady taking video.  So there were retakes on the spot and some later after seeing them on the computer.  Now that’s a whole different part of the process when I transfer files to the laptop.

cactus desert BLM8115A Why AZAt one point I set the phone in a clamp on the tripod.  Now I know I’ll need a better clamp, but it worked.  I wanted to video an introduction to who I am.  There were several takes.  I might need one of those old fashioned movie boards, “Take 35”.  It’s not done or published yet but I’ll let you know when it is.

desrt mts sunset clouds BLM8115A Why AZFinally, I spent lots of time relearning Movie Maker to put the shorts and stills with some text together into a finished 11 minute video.  I like it.  They get better every time.  I can see a series of camp landscape videos at some point, along with a long list of other ideas.  Alas, there wasn’t adequate signal in #campBatesWell3 to upload the 1.6GB mp4 video file.

A10 Warthog jet BLM8115A Why AZfallen Saguaro BLM8115A Why AZ

                                                                   Could this speedy jet have knocked down a Saguaro?

I am way too gullible to spend time online for April Fool’s Day.  So, instead I spent my last day at this camp just soaking in this amazing Sonoran Desert landscape.  Think I’m settling into this retirement thing.  Next stop, Ajo to take care of chores as I continue celebrating 68 years.  And I uploaded the video.  Hope you watch it, like, share, comment, and especially SUBSCRIBE to the Geogypsytraveler channel.

Join a Geogypsy Journey–Sharing the Kofa Light

Sonoran Desert Kofa Mts last light clouds MST&T Rd BLM Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaI may have retired as a Park Ranger, however I’ll never stop loving the chance to share a place with others.  I’ve been wracking my brain how to do that and came up with Geogypsy Journey, at least for now.  Tell me what you think.  The idea is to join with others in nature, immerse in the environment, and share a landscape experience.  Honestly, this could be done all over the world.  However, I’d like to start with a place dear to me during winter months when I’m boondocking in my truck-camper.  The Kofa National Wildlife Refuge encompasses 665,400 acres of wild and wonderful Sonoran Desert at least partially surrounded by BLM (Bureau of Land Management) managed public lands.

Right now, holidays are keeping people busy yet many are thinking of a vacation getaway after the first of the year. I love to see people traveling safely and would like to suggest a winter camping runaway to the apricity—warmth of the sun in winter—in the southern Arizona desert. Time to connect with nature. As the temperatures drop in the north, that’s where I’ll be and you should join me for a Geogypsy Journey.

The rugged Kofa Mountains provide an amazing backdrop to the Sonoran Desert plus comfortable winter temperatures (60/40° averages), and amazing light from sunrise to after sunset, plus under the moon. Sometimes clouds enhance the mid-day shadows in this unique environment and even the tiniest life in the desert holds intrigue. After many years of exploration, I’d like to share this piece of desert and what I know about the cultural history, geology/rockhounding, ecology, wildlife, birdwatching, and light for photography.

I propose meeting in the BLM desert south of Quartzsite, Arizona, Sharing the Kofa Light with a landscape immersion over 3-5 days using our senses and creative juices to experience the awe of this place.  A campout, desert walkabout, Palm Canyon hike, and other possible local attractions. We will enjoy a safe place to camp* on public lands under dark skies.  Donation $100/day/person, refundable up to $100, for coordinating this experience over no more than five days. Group size will be limited to six people. Cell signal is not reliable in camp.

Saguaro cactus Kofa Mts BLM Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaParticipants are responsible for their own food and beverage, transportation, and accommodation onsite or offsite (tent, RV, Quartzsite 30 minutes north, Yuma 60 minutes south, Blythe 45 minutes west, Phoenix 2 ½ hours east). Camp will be free off-grid *boondocking on public lands, show respect and Leave No Trace. You will need to provide a contact’s information and sign a waiver as I am not responsible for accident, injury, or theft.  I do encourage you to be careful.

Bring your stories, camera, paints, journal, musical instrument, dancing shoes and hiking boots, imagination, or whatever you choose. Mostly, bring yourself with an open fresh perspective on life, eager to learn and share.

If you are interested, please let me know, and pass the word. I will answer questions and provide more information. I am currently thinking mid-January (full moon 17th) and mid-February (full moon 16th), but am open to additional dates and suggestions.

Be aware: The Big Tent RV Show Quartzsite, January 22-30 draws a crowd.  Plus there are many activities going on in Quartzsite.

I’d also like to take Geogypsy Journey further when I camp in other places along my travels and include presentations about a variety of topics, mostly nature, national parks, or RVing, because that’s my thing as you know.  I might travel in your neighborhood and would love to see your favorite natural places.  I am working on a plan for summer travels north and east.  Some of you are already on my list and hopefully more will be added.

In the meantime, think about joining a Geogypsy Journey in the Sonoran Desert Sharing the Kofa Light in January or February 2022.  Let’s go camping and explore the land and the light.

*Boondocking – defined as camping off the grid without being plugged into city water, sewer, and electricity, however, that does not necessarily mean going without those things and instead using propane, holding tanks, solar power, and conservation. Also known as “dispersed camping” on public land means up to 14 days in the same location. This gives you a bit of time to get to know a place.

I have no affiliation to the US Fish & Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, or any other public lands agency.  This is just me sharing with you as I dearly love to do.

Happy Solstice!
Yea the days get longer and there will be more light!

Working on the 2018 photo calendar

Sunset RR tracks Kirkland Arizona#1 Sunset RR tracks Kirkland AZ

It’s almost October, the end of my summer season, and I’m working on the 2018 photo calendar.

Sunset from Palm Canyon Road KOFA National Wildlife Refuge Arizona#2 Sunset from Palm Canyon Rd KOFA NWR AZ

Two years ago a printer in Kanab printed six calendars with my photos for Christmas gifts.

Crested Organ Pipe Cactus Ajo Mountain Drive Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument Arizona#3 Crested Organ Pipe Cactus Ajo Mt Dr Organ Pipe Cactus NM AZ

Last year I got cheap and printed six calendars on my antique HP printer and that was a nightmare I won’t do again.

Many of you voiced an interest in purchasing a calendar with my photos.

So I’d like your help deciding which photos, what size calendar (8.5×11 or 5.5×8.5), and how much you’re willing to pay.  Also suggestions are much appreciated.

Moon rise Alabama Hills Lone Pine California#6 Moon rise Alabama Hills Lone Pine CA

Over the last 12 months while choosing photos from blog posts and labeling I’ve picked many of my favorites and put them in the 2018 photo calendar file.  Should I just pick photos taken in the last 12 months?  Do you have or remember any particular favorites over the last nine years of my blogging?

Last light Amargosa Range Badwater Basin Death Valley National Park California#7 Last light Amargosa Range Badwater Basin DEVA NP CA

In the next week or so I’ll be sharing a few of my favorites and asking for you to weigh in.  Please choose up to eight of your favorites from this round by leaving their numbers in a comment below.

I’m looking for quality printing at a reasonable price.  If any of you have used online printing companies feel free to make a suggestion.  It’s difficult to know the quality of prints without paying to print and I’m looking for a bulk printing price.  Maybe 50 to 100 copies depending on how many I think I can sell.

So how many do you want to pre-order with no money down or obligation?  I’ll start a list and let you know when the calendar is available for shipping.  You might want to think Christmas presents.

Of course I know you can pick up free calendars from various businesses you frequent, or not.  But if you’d like to look at some of my best (so far) for the next year and help support a starving Park Ranger/photographer/traveler I would much appreciate it.

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.
