Our Campsite
At our campsite near Tucson, Arizona, we found a spacious and level spot to set up. There were plenty of sites around, maybe 50 to 100 in total, offering lots of room. It was quiet and peaceful, perfect for chilling out and stargazing under the clear desert sky. We had to be careful on the dirt roads, especially when it rained and they turned into slippery mud. Despite that, our campsite was a comfortable and serene retreat in the rugged Sonoran Desert.
