Day 36 Saturday February 16

Unimog!


Above standard breakfast



Cup and a half of coffee and hard at work emptying and filling tanks. Tamale and egg breakfast! Probably walk the Senita Basin today. Cool with light overcast, bright and clear air. Drove to trailhead and locked B in the van while we walked 6 miles into the desert on a jeep road. Much of the first two miles lay in a deep wash. Got a little lost but S lassoed a trio who set us straight. S had sore back so she adjourned to the back and I made her a nice lunch of sandwich and hardboiled egg. Motored back to camp on the beautiful Puerto Blanco Road and rested up before our dinner with P and R in their Arctic Fox. Two Euro license plates in the camp neighborhood one a Mercedes UNIMOG and the other another less iconic Mercedes Bocklet. S found a shawl and a black plastic gallon jug. Government signs here and there in the Monument warn against approaching those who carry black plastic gallon jugs; S is keeping. P said not to keep because the dogs at the security checkpoints will notice. The desert always has a slight hint of danger one way or the other.
