Departure of the camp at 8:45 am and road towards our next place of sleeping.
We pass again by TUCSON.
Gauthier identified a possible camp in BUENOS AIRES a few miles from the Mexican border.
We stop to eat in the point of information where we find the map of the spots of camp of the sector.
After the BLM of the UTAH we discover the National Wildlife Refuge.
With the information provided by the map we leave to the research of our future place of camp.
And we find the DRY CAMPGROUND of BUENOS AIRES. (31°37'39.92N, 111°24'48.75W)
As usual, we are going to scout with the Honda our dinghy to find the tricky passages.
The first spot seems to us ideal even if close to the road.
We will settle there (place 47). Again we are alone in the world or almost in a magnificent environment.
We will take advantage of the afternoon to rest and appreciate the place.
The weather is nice.
The sun is not too intense. Vincent takes the opportunity to go around the truck with Gauthier.
This evening we inaugurate the tripod of our campfire.
Here the collection of dead wood on the ground is allowed. So we fill up with dead wood for our meal.
Menu of the evening: Sausages and marshmallows.
Beautiful evening under the stars in a silence interrupted by the chirping of birds.
Movie night : "The Wizard of OZ
Good night.

Since we were told by the embassy to organize our return as soon as possible, we are looking for a storage place for WILLIRoad & Junior our Honda CRV.
As there is no connection in our camp, we plan an outing in the surroundings to look for this magic connection.
8:40 am Departure under a beautiful sun.
We come back to the place of information discovered the day before.
Morning of research of the place of storage, rent of a vehicle to go to the airport.
During our research we assist to the return of a patrol of Rangers dressed up.
In this sector close to the border, the tracking of Mexicans is a very developed activity.
Return to the RV for the meal.
We set out again in visit towards the Mexican border.
The only vehicles we met were the BORDERS PATROLS which criss-cross the sector.
Not a living soul in the sector.
We go to SASABE.
Ghost town. After the prison (that we imagine, we do not venture to the border post for fear of not being able to turn back.
We discover with surprise that the wall separating the 2 countries is real. It runs all along the border for miles.
Return by the way of the schoolboys.
Small walk around AGUIRE LAKE where we discover the very ingenious benches/tables.
We are impressed by the level of maintenance and development of the Parks.
Nothing is left behind, the paths are marked out (branches, stones...). These Americans definitely amaze us.
On the other hand, the area is a little hostile to foreigners. The houses, the camps are surrounded by barbed wire.
Return to camp at the end of the day.
BBQ Pizza Bread Sausage, Chamallow.
End of the day under the stars in a stunning calm. Vincent and Gauthier take the opportunity to do some DIY. The noise of the Aqua Hot disturbs Vincent; I let them remake the world.
Disassembling the bed to discover the hidden secrets of the water tank and to notice that the assembly is not finished! A wheel is missing.
Jojo Rabbit movie night.
