After four nights at Dead Horse Ranch, we drove south to Apache Junction for a two-week stay at Lost Dutchman State Park, which lies at the edge of Superstition Mountain.

Wally World
We’ve camped just under 400 nights over the past six seasons, nearly every one of which was in some sort of formal campground. Nearly every one of them had a “campground host” on duty. The only places we’ve ever had issues with these park volunteers (we call them “Wallys”) have been in Arizona state parks.
The Grand Question
There’s a great debate going on in our household. Does the Grand Canyon’s grandeur look more impressive from the rim or from the river? Our next stop was the canyon’s North Rim where the controversy ensued.
Time for Pie
After leaving Homolovi Ruins State Park, we headed north to Bluff, my favorite town in southeast Utah. We had planned to camp at a BLM campground on the banks of the San Juan River, but rain, rain and more rain had turned the site into a quagmire of mud and muck. So instead of cheap, off-the-grid camping we ended up at the Cottonwood RV Park in downtown Bluff.
Absolutely Petrified
After a dozen nights camped in Chama, New Mexico, it was time to head west to Homolovi Ruins State Park near Winslow, Arizona, where we’ll be camped for a week.
