I left the Phoenix area and headed
southeast to the Buenos Aires NWR. It is wide valley covered with
grasslands and mequite. They have plently of marked camping spots
throughout the refuge. I chose one on a plateu with great views to
the east and west.
Camping is free but there are no waste
water dumps or potable water available on the refuge. There are quite
a few other campers because bow hunting for deer is open! I am only
about 10 miles north of the Mexican border which means a lot of
Border Patrol agents in four wheel drives and on horseback! They are
busy all day and all night as I can see vehicle lights criss-crossing
the valley 24X7. I have no internet access here but can send text.
That means my blogs will be delayed in posting until I make trips
into a nearby small town named Arivaca, where I have good internet
connectivity. It has a mercantile where you can purchase reasonably
priced fuel, propane and groceries. There are several birding
hotspots at the edge of town that I look forward to visiting!
