We arrived in Roper State Park Thursday to discover our good friends were also here so we parked next to them and spent 3 more days visiting. We planned to meet in Texas but this was unexpected. They took us to Gila Box, a BLM canyon, near here. The roads were amazing for without a jeep or truck you cannot enter the canyon. The grades are sometimes in the teens with switchbacks on washed gravel roads. There is a campground with hosts there out in the desert but I cannot imagine how a 5th wheel and class c managed to get into the canyon! It must be an hour to anything like gas, laundry and groceries. This is an easterner amazed and talking about being rural!
We rocked and rolled last night as a storm with high wind gusts passed leaving snow high in the mountians but dry here at the campgournd.. We took in everything including our slide. But just before the storm there was a beautiful sunset over the mountains reflecting in the lake. Next Friday we will be in Organ Pipe National Monument and begin out volunteer duties.
