Camped along Mule Creek Road, east of Guthrie AZ, March 12, 2008
Primitive camping along Mule Creek Road
After having spent the night in the first rest area west of the New Mexico border I discovered the next morning on my journey down off the plateau there are several really nice primitive campgrounds a few miles farther west that I would have preferred to stay at.
Westbound views
This is a beautiful road to travel heading westbound. The views as you come down off the high plateau are gorgeous. I regret now I didn't stop for some pictures.

Was Love Then
Was love then like a bag of assorted sweets passed around from which one might choose more than once? Some might sting the tongue, some invoke night perfume. Some had centers as bitter as gall, some blended honey and poison, some were quickly swallowed. And among the common bull's-eyes and peppermints a few rare ones; one or two with deadly needles at the heart, another that brought calm and gentle pleasure. Were his fingers closing on that one?
