I’m back camping on the Ogilby road near Yuma, AZ. I will only be here for a couple of days. I needed to make a trip into Mexico to buy some drugs… legal medications, of course… what were you thinking? As long as I had to drive back to the border, I took advantage of cheaper Arizona gas and stopped at a couple of big box stores to resupply. I even took in a movie.
It is pretty hot here and it doesn’t even cool off much at night. Last night I didn’t get under the covers until early in the morning. The good thing is that the desert has very few bugs. I can leave the windows and doors open and not be eaten. It has helped, too, that there is a breeze.
Tomorrow I will head back into the higher elevations near Borrego Springs. It will be warm enough to do a little hiking on the PCT soon, so I’m looking forward to walking a few trails in the near future. I don’t know why but it always seems easier to blog when I’m hiking.
Ps. The movie was called “Emperor” about the occupation after the war with Japan. I hope I didn’t give away too much, Daryl, and Richard, I’m sure it is entirely factual! It didn’t get good reviews, but I thought it was good.
Were you able to get what you needed in Algadones?
Sounds like an interesting movie.
Yes I did. It was ridiculously cheap! I hope it will work for me.
Oh man! Now you’ve spoiled the movie for me. I might as well not watch it, now that I know what it’s about.
I think you will be wise to head to the cooler elevations. Spring is here and along with it, the warm Arizona weather.
