Phoenix

 At Ben Avery Shooting Facility

Arrived at SASS End Of Trail, World Championship of Cowboy Action Shooting.  Tomorrow I need a time warp to get my mind (and rearrange all the gear in the truck/camper) back to 1882!

Got here in early afternoon.  Found the dump station locked so moved onto a full hookup site for 15 minutes to dump the waste tanks and fill the fresh water tank for 12 nights on a dry camp site. 

Got the trailer set up and went shopping again. Propane, diesel and food.  

Tomorrow I’ll get everything rearranged for the cowboy stuff.  

Got some scenery photos on the way up from Yuma. The wind was wicked last night and today so there was blowing dust most of the way up here. That is some of the flattest, driest landscape anywhere. As we got closer to Phoenix it got better. Not the wind, just the dust. More ground cover. Still the Sonora desert but with more vegetation to hold the soil there is a little less dust. 

The wind has calmed down now. Shouldn’t be as bad again this week

These are photos of dust, not haze






Here we are at EOT

Skye is happy to have some people to watch
