Am I in heaven ? ~ 2 comments.
I'm really enjoying this new boondocking area I'm at, but by the looks of things around here, I'm not the only one who feels that way. Due to the Jeep trails and all the different campfire rings, I've got a feeling that this place gets pretty crowded during the busy season.
One of the reasons I've always camped down below is that from down there, I can look up the hill and see white dots, which are RVs that were camping right where I'm at now. So I think I'm only in one of these Primo boondocking spots because most folks have headed back north already. So my guess is I will have to hit this area late in the season to get the great boondocking spots like I'm in now. The good news is there's always plenty of places to boondock in the main area, where I can kill time until the good spots open up.
So all in all, the Wickenburg area is still a good place to stay, at least for now. And the biggest downside is that there's no nearby Walmart to keep grocery prices under control, so it's a relatively expensive place to stay.

This is an overall view of my boondocking area. This area has all of the needs I require for happy boondocking. It's got plenty of peace and quiet, it has beautiful desert scenery, it's free, and best of all, I have to use my binoculars to see my nearest neighbor.
Sometimes I like to take pictures of the clouds. Don't know why; I just do.
I've still got plenty of places to walk, but to tell the truth, walking on dirt roads, dry washes, and cow-paths is just not as interesting to me as walking around in the desert and making my own trail. I like to go places that not everybody has gone before, and see things that not everyone has seen. But the sneaky snakes have destroyed that for me until next winter, when hopefully the temperatures will keep them in their holes until I get out of town. Meanwhile, I'll continue walking on the dry washes, Jeep trails, and cow paths, which are not great but a lot better than man-made hiking trails, which are crawling with REI people wearing the latest off-road fashion suitable for paved and groomed hiking trails.
It's hard to see, but in the bushes just to the left, you may see my teeny tiny home happily ensconced.
Now that Spring has sprung, there's a lot of greenery and flowers happening in the desert.
