I finally have a chance to update the blog. Slow internet is the bane of every campground we've been in but I can usually use my phone hotspot. I don't have much data on it so I have wait and use it when I get more each month. We have been four wheeling in the forest and now that it has been raining it is getting green. We traveled a different road and found this old mine. Red clay was mined here to use for the clay rooftop tiles they use on the roofs here in Arizona. We are in the town of Clay Springs so you know its known for clay. The top picture shows the mine from a distance and the second I tried to show how tall the walls of dirt were from the mine. They are at least a hundred feet high.
We are enjoying our second summer in this area of Arizona. The weather is in the 80's and the humidity is pretty low although it does spike when the rains come through -- it is monsoon season. So far we haven't had a deluge at the campground. It has been just nice steady rain and a little thunder a day or two a week. We don't do a whole lot except four wheel with the price of diesel. It costs us over $20 just to go to town and back so you think twice before going anywhere.
