Wickenburg Arizona
I finally made it to Wickenburg, Arizona, and am currently boondocked at an Arizona trust land area about 4 miles from downtown and my favorite Safeway grocery store.
I stopped in at the Safeway and bought a few things. The Safeway has a very small parking lot, so I had to park across the street at the post office. Big parking lots are something else Walmart has going for it. While in the Safeway, I saw my first carton of a dozen eggs for $10. It looks like that’s another luxury item I can’t afford.
The weather is perfect: Blue skies, low humidity, daytime temperatures in the mid-70s, and nighttime temperatures in the 40s, which is ideal sleeping weather for me. And starting Sunday, it's predicted to be in the 80s all next week. Obviously, Wickenburg has more than its share of Saguaro cactus, which keeps things warm.
Now that I'm in Wickenburg and boondocking at the Arizona trust lands, I have the urge to make a brief video of me walking in the nearby dry wash that I always enjoy while I’m here. Not everybody has walked in a dry wash, so a short video might be interesting… although I doubt it.
Of course, this doesn't mean I will make a video, but the thought is there, so the problem is keeping my interest in the project long enough to do it.
While I was at Quartzsite, I never felt the slightest desire to make a video, probably because I have a one-track mind, and the only thing I was interested in was showing all the boondockers there. That one thing filled my entire brain so that nothing else would fit. Still, now that I'm in Wickenburg, I don’t have a mission anymore, so I can at least think about making an exceptionally short video, something really, really short. A video so brief you won’t even know you watched it…. You’ll thank me later.

My boondocking spot is at an Arizona trust land near Wickenburg, Arizona.
Unlike Quartzsite, which has names for the boondocking areas that everybody uses. Thousands of trust lands are scattered all over Arizona, and as far as I know, they don’t have names, or at least no name I’ve ever heard. So when I’m on trust lands, I’ll call it by its nearest town’s name, which really doesn’t tell you anything because numerous trust lands are scattered around Wickenburg.
