With the storm clean up done and the temperatures low (-2 this morning) I'd rather sit by the wood stove and think about camping in the desert. I have only done a few nights long ago in the desert while riding my old motorcycle back from California in 1981 and I decided to make it a 6,000 mile trip by going across Death Valley and the Mojave then north to Montana and then east to NE. Luann and I camped in Arizona for a week as well but not in the boonies. It won't be the same. I am a person who likes woods and deserts kind of spook me. What I am mostly looking forward to is upward. Dark Sky star viewing. Big Bend is a dark sky designated spot. One of the three camp spots (each 3 days) is at the top of a bluff oriented south. It is a long drive in and so to describe it I thought it better to show a few maps and Google Earth shots at the spot. It is definitely a "get away from it all" camp spot. (where the yellow pin is on each photo and tent on map). This definitely is an example of me "taking a trip without leaving the farm". I think of it as coming attractions.
