3/19 - This morning was chilly but sunny. 42 degrees in the camper. Good sleeping weather, not so good functioning weather. The goal today was to go to a dispersed camping site in the Pipe Organ National Monument area. But, that didn't work out. It would have been cool, too, but all the sites were taken. So, off down the road we went.
I went through three or four border patrol checkpoints on my drive. All very nice guys. Their presence is huge down here.
The area around Gila Bend has this massive dairy farm. The fields are irrigated, of course, and so very green against all the brown. It was jarring to see it, to be honest.
And right across a street is a huge solar farm. These are curved panels so they might be collecting the heat as well. I haven't looked into it yet.
We ended up in the place I was going to stay tomorrow night. This will be nice, having two nights in a row at the same place again. Painted Rock Petroglyph Campground. It's a state-run 'primitive' site with about 80 campsites. All with a fire ring and concrete picnic table. I'm in site 51 on the outer edge. Hoping for creature sightings.
Photos tomorrow of our site. I thought I took some but did not.
