Leaving Grand Canyon for warmer weather

Since Lew, Denise, Lloyd and Vilma left the day before, we decided it might be a good idea, too. Lenny any Banko thought it would be a good idea, too so they wouldn’t have to wear their sweatshirts!  

Headed south near Tucson to BLM land where we had stayed before. 

Beautiful drive down through cacti forests, instead of trees

Already warmer here. Warm temps in the 70s in the daytime and 45 degrees at night. I’m ready for this. 

After we set up, we took a little bike ride through some of the cactus. 

We wanted to have a fire tonight, so we started gathering dead wood from some kind of plant. Not our usual type of wood but it made a nice fire for andouille sausages and s’mores. Now we’re camping!

A nice sunset and moonrise. 

Night all.
