After a long drive from Oregon Pipe Cactus National Monument, I arrived at the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge. I knew there were many free campsites in this refuge, but I didn’t know exactly what I was driving into.
Fortunately, the roads were pretty good, and I found a spot toward the north end of the campsites, which were spread out quite a ways apart.
I needed time to work on my “organizing framework” of visiting all of the national parks, monuments, forests, grasslands, and National Park Service units.
Somewhere isolated like this was perfect for me to focus on the massive amount of work I wanted to do on my website.
Except for one thing.
A wind storm.
Well, wind storms can be very annoying and irritating when you live in a teardrop trailer. Plus, in this area, there is a ton of dirt, sand, and dust that gets into every crevice of the trailer.
Of course when you throw that much crap into the air, you tend to get gorgeous sunsets.
I turned off Highway 286 as I entered the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge. Here’s the signage from that corner.
