2023 Walk About
Midway through October 2023, I traveled southwest towards western Arizona and the Burro Creek campground. The cottonwood trees were still green and it was a beautiful morning as I contemplated the coming adventures over the next three weeks. Arriving at the campground I found it, frankly, a POS; partly because it was closed for the winter. At least I’d satisfied my curiosity. Heading west from there on SR93, I came to a sign, “Burro Creek Crossing, 16 mi” so I turned off thinking, “Sixteen miles, how bad can it be?” Well, if you’ve never been lost in the desert, you have no idea…
The following 77 images were culled from more than one thousand frames, starting with that day and ending at Pt Reyes National Seashore. Enjoy!
