Something not right?

Description

Tons of sites scattered throughout the refuge. As noted by others, you must camp in a designated area, but there are so many. I stayed in site 64, which had decent view of Baboquivari Peak and the whole range as well as the Santa Rita Mtns to the east. I feel like I could easily be out on the African savannah. Dry grassland dotted with mesquite trees, which are just beginning to leaf out now. Very quiet and peaceful. Temps in the mid-to-upper 70s, lows mid-50s. Heard the coyotes last night. Had 2 bars LTE AT&T. About ten miles north of the Mexican border.

Official campsite #68A. A bit off the beaten path but reasonably easy to get to even for a standard 2WD if you're careful. Nice, rarely used fire pit. Great views all around. Three bars of 5G on my Verizon Mifi.
