Rain, rain, rain. Solid, big drop continuous rain. With fog. We had to move sites this morning, but we’re now spudded in for three days. Filled the fresh water and dumped grey and black tanks while we were switching, and put the feet down and levelled for the first time in the trip. Spent the morning cleaning and re-organizing the Bigfoot after 6 days on the road. It hardly seems possible that we left just a week ago.
Our neighbour in the tent trailer, packing to leave.
Nancy picked up a few new birds for her life list today, Cactus Wrens and Brown Towhees. It’s funny how an area comes into focus as you start to investigate. South east Arizona has a State Park, National Forest, National Wildlife Refuge and National Conservation Areas to investigate. Surprisingly, it also has wine touring, Kim.
Stopped at Fairbanks, ghost town, for Nancy and Kirk to check out a trail in the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area. The residents of Fairbanks were apparently burned out by a large cattle ranch.
Went into Sierra Vista, AZ to see if I could find a cell phone booster, was looking for a Wison Streek 4. Walmart. Best Buy and Radio Shack all used to carry them, but no longer do. Hmm, will have to investigate why that is. No booster, so back to the cell-less campground. Still raining. Did I mention it’s still raining? Good thing I’m not bitter.

So things should get real green around there in about 2 weeks. So it looks like so far you have been able to avoid getting caught in a flash flood! I am assuming that is why the Ranger was nervous......northern flat landers in a desert!
