| no partners | | Made a late decision to go camping someplace Saturday, and because it was getting to be mid afternoon, I didn't want to go far. I decided to try Cochise Stronghold, a place I rarely visit. I don't think I have ever camped there, and if I did it was probably in the early 1990s. The campground (which closes during the hot summer months) is very nice and set in a beautiful hidden away place. I tend to like the West Stronghold side of the Dragoon Range better, because it is more removed from civilization, and unlike being tucked away among the rocks and trees, you have some great vistas and better sky views (sunsets, thunderstorms) readily available. Both are fine, it's just a matter of what you like.
Only two other campers were there, so it was a great quiet evening. In the morning I relaxed awhile enjoying coffee and the peacefulness, before packing up the tent, etc. I decided to hike up to Halfmoon Tank before driving back home. It was a little warm, but occasional breezes along with the decent tree cover along the route kept things reasonable. |
