AZ Sunrises I am with ya there. I lived in a tent for the first 6 mos. I was in NV. Jan into Aug. That is really getting aquainted with the elements. But no way could I have handled a tent in any month except two over here, those would be Jul and Aug. This year even that seems like it could be iffy. A teepee maybe? It's whole diff story :D Anyway I am so looking forward to the whole trip and becoming a "desert rat" again.
Are you in Phoenix the town? We have our eye on some fixup property in Coolidge and that area.
