Quiet night camping at Sycamore Campround. I had the place to myself. As expected after our cruel hot/dry summer, very light flow in the creek. Further down the road heading back to civilization, long stretches of the creekbed were dry. Saw a train of Starlink satellites through the trees shortly after dark (yawn). At 5:28 in the morning the jays woke up and began carrying on, followed shortly by woodpeckers, then others. Guess it was time to get out of the tent and make some coffee.

Morning low temperature was 53 degrees.

Checked a few things out on my drive back to the heat, plus stopped at Mustang Mall in Sunizona to pick up a bottle of local wine. Farmers Mourvedre from Keeling Schaefer Vineyards along Rock Creek, one drainage north of West Turkey Creek. Not bad.
