Soft start today too. Then we went for a long walk out on the south side of camp. We got a mile out and could look back to the camper. Smoke! Not the camper but to the left of the camper. We couldn’t see where it was coming from but it was a lot of smoke and would surge into a bigger cloud. So we went back, just in case it was a grass fire too close to us. It was out by the time we got back. And we couldn’t see any more of it than when we started.
It was good to come back anyway. Skye hadn’t had much hiking since she got the sore paws in Yuma. On the way back Skye saw a jackrabbit and it was off to the races! The rabbit won I had seen another one earlier but she hadn’t, although she had scented it
We found a new neighbor when we got back too In the same spot as the other, about 100 yds away but she waved back to us, so already more friendly This is a teardrop camper
After lunch we went for a drive up Mt Graham. Then we saw where someone had burned the grass on their front lawn (if I dare call anything here a lawn). I checked the map when we got back, it was definitely the right direction to be the source of the smoke.
My Graham is plowed up to the high ridge, about 9150’ so we got to drive up through a snow banked road just like home. But no snow on the pavement. It was 75 degrees in the Gila Valley but 45 up on top. It is the same in summer, 95 in The Valley and 70 on the mountain. Makes it a popular place!
Not much sunset, but a nice dark night for stars.
