If you've never had the chance to winter-boondock in the Arizona desert, it's a shame - it's a gorgeous place to camp (if the wind isn't howling). We've been camping there for more than 20 years and just returned from our latest four-night trip. As is common this time of year, there was hardly a cloud in the sky, and as the sun sets in that part of the country, it throws kind of an orangish colored light on everything. It's breathtaking and you see those colors nearly every night.
I thought I'd share some pictures with you - Picture 1 is an unretouched photo of our coach with the KOFA mountains in the background. The next two pictures I took with my drone. The night image is a 3 second exposure. As you can see, you're pretty much in the middle of nowhere, but that's part of the fun of it. As a side-note, we only had to run our generator for about 45 minutes during the entire four days we were there - and that was only because some folks in our group wanted to cook their meals on their George Foreman cooker, and they cooked French Toast for everyone on a large griddle one morning. Other than that, our flat-mounted solar panels had the batteries fully charged by the end of each day.
Here's a link to a video I put together for our group. I hope you enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E1OOmiy5N8
