Trundling West and North
We camped, after viewing the video and waiving all rights to claims of injury or indiscretion, on the Barry M Goldwater Range (BMGR) East. Scatterings of druzy quartz add to the thrills of hiking.

How does one go about getting permission? And did the A-10 Warthogs visit?
ReplyDeleteAl, by now you've discovered permits are available from the Cabeza Prieta Visitors Center. I hate to admit it, it's SO unpatriotic, but I wouldn't know an A-10 if I saw one. And to top it off, I don't think I've ever voted in a Presidential election. Ever since I read about our involvement in the ousting of Guatemalan President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman in 1954 I've felt nothing but disdain for politics...and military aircraft.
