BURRO CREEK 5.
Day 117 – It was even colder this morning when we got up. The water spigots at the campground were frozen. So was part of the Creek. We had plenty of propane so our tanks inside the RV did not freeze. YAAA!

BURRO CREEK 4.
Day 116 – Another cold night but we had enough propane to keep us warm. Without the internet/weather forecast, we just wait to see what’s going to happen. All in all, today was warmer than yesterday with full sun and little wind.

BURRO CREEK 3.
Day 115 – We woke up early this morning; it was very cold in the RV. We’d run out of propane in one of the small tanks. Rob went outside & switched to a different tank. He checked the thermometer outside – it was 23 degrees. Lucky the pipes didn’t freeze.

BURRO CREEK 2.
Day 114 – Today was very windy. Before the winds started Rob walked down to the Creek and got some pictures. All day we saw no birds or other wildlife; they must’ve known the weather was changing.

BURRO CREEK 1.
Day 113 – We are glad we came back here again. It’s very quiet and the scenery is beautiful. But mostly, there are lots of critters to watch. At any given time you can look out the window and see a Hummingbird at the top of a bush or tree. It’s fairly easy to hike down to the bottom of the canyon where various Ducks are floating on the creek.

TRAVEL DAY
From: Painted Rock Petroglyph Campground, Gila Bend, AZ.
To: Burro Creek Campground (BLM), Wikieup, AZ.
Day 112 – We have NO signal here at Burro Creek. Nothing. Nada. So I’ll just type away, and Rob will process the pictures and send whatever we have when we go somewhere where we can get a signal. If we remember correctly from the last time we were here (2018), signals are available about 10 miles south of the campground at the top of a hill.

CHANGING OF THE GUARD.
Day 111 – We decided to stay another day. We’d paid for three nights but we weren’t quite finished with this place, so we paid for another night. Today was warm and there was full sun with no wind. The high today was almost 77 degrees. It was a good day to go see the petroglyphs.

PETE.
Day 110 – As previously mentioned, Cathie & Pete are camping near us. Pete is a funny dog, and he constantly cracks us up. Night before last we were sitting in the tent, Cathie was visiting, and Pete was inside her trailer tucked away in his bed.

DESERT CAMPING.
Day 109 – Desert camping is interesting. We’re in the middle of nowhere and it’s mostly flat land with some hills in the distance. Talk about big skies! No towns of any size are visible. You can see 360 degrees around you. It’s just us and the other campers, no one else as far as you can see.

TRAVEL DAY
From: Jim Kortsen West Pinal Park, Maricopa, AZ.
To: Painted Rock Petroglyph Campground, Gila Bend, AZ.
Day 108 – At 7:30 a.m. this morning it was 43 degrees and sunny. We are headed to a new campground to meet our friend, Cathie and her dog, Pete, spend some time catching up – and also to check out the petroglyphs.
