Wild Iris Kaibab National Forest Arizona
Yes, I’m a bit behind sharing stories of my summer travels.
I have managed to create a few videos but am also behind there. You can watch Boondocking with sheep under the Pines https://youtu.be/FPT0uQkEsao for more about my Williams camp.
I continued to enjoy the Junipers and meadows, complete with sheep, on the Kaibab National Forest south of Ash Fork Arizona into early June before making a jump to another area of forest south of Williams.

Ron visited from Congress so we took his Jeep on a couple of backroad rides. I love connecting the dots on my map and exploring areas I wouldn’t drive the RV.
Without shopping in Ash Fork it was time to look for other options and Williams, only 22 miles east on I40, seemed just right and especially with another bump up in elevation to avoid heat. After free dump and fill plus a grocery stop I parked the RV south of town and we took the Jeep out on forest roads in search of another ideal camp.
Only 12 miles from Williams on the Kaibab National Forest we found a large camp with nobody nearby.
Sadly, the Jeep’s transmission linkage broke so I walked a ways back to a camper and asked for a ride about four miles back to my RV. After doing some online research, Ron figured out what part was needed and ordered it from a store in Williams. Ron slid under the Jeep and replaced a bushing to make the Jeep move again.
While he worked four-legged sheep visitors moved through camp, more than once, and didn’t give us a second look. After repairs it was time for Ron to return to his pets and high heat at lower elevation in Congress, 100+° while I enjoyed the 80s.

I enjoyed visiting with friends from Grand Canyon before making a jump further east then north of Bellemont and up once again in elevation.
People who don’t live at high elevation often don’t understand the lack of oxygen and struggle breathing. Congress 3045’, Ash Fork 5181’, Williams 6916’, Bellemont 7132’, Flagstaff 6821’. And then there’s Reverse Elevation sickness.
