So far we've worked our way from Idaho to New Mexico over about a week, then spent a couple of weeks at primitive backcountry sites in Big Bend National Park, then over to the Chiricahua Mountains for a couple of weeks, a couple of days soaking in the mineral pools at Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, and now over to the Dragoon Mountains and Cochise Stronghold.
The best photo of the trip is from the Chiricahua Mountains near Cave Creek where we ran into a Rainbow Gathering. We were on Forest road 42b, clearly marked 4x4 on the forest maps, and came across these guys trying to do it with a school bus towing an SUV. They did fine until the second creek crossing. The guy at the Cave Creek visitor center said the nearest tow truck was a $2000 minimum.
