We stopped just across the border to spend the night and see the desert with the beautiful cactus. I have to admit the campground was one of the most beautiful places we had stayed even without hookups. I have learned to boon dock quite well. After checking in and a short rest we returned to the information center to see a film and hear a talk about the area in the 1800"s.
After returning to our campers (remember Jean and Steve was with us) we had a meal and headed to the amphitheater to listen to a talk by one of the rangers. We reviewed our early school history on geology and learned about the area we were in and how it was formed.
The stars were so bright and clear and the weather was perfect. No television so early to bed.
Next morning we took a tour into part of the desert to do a short hike to Dripping Springs. How beautiful the desert can be with flowers blooming and majestic cactus stretched toward the sky.
I would have liked to spend another day but the weather threatened rain and we wanted to travel to Casa Grande befroe winds became too high.
