Looking for the Warm

It froze the last two nights camped above Stafford. Headed for lower elevations.


You know you are getting lower, warmer, when the iconic desert symbol makes an appearance. 

The Saguaro cactus is found in southern Arizona and northern Mexico below 4000 ft.


Globe, AZ is and old old mining town. Mining started with a silver strike, but soon turned to copper mining which continues today. A huge mine and the tailing tower over the town. 



Tucked in for the night at Oak Flat Campground. (33.30933, -111.04853)  It is much warmer here. I am getting back to T- shirt and shorts weather.
