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.

From Knowledge to Wisdom
Wisdom is a product of a process. This process begins with information, proceeds through knowledge, and through what a less gifted poet, Edgar Guest, called "a heap of living," ends in wisdom.
... Wisdom, when it comes, usually arrives late in life. I've known some people who were wise in their early thirties and others who died old without a clue. Most philosophers were of the mind that a person should be at least forty years of age to have enough learning experiences. Now it seems that it is much too young. The step from knowledge to wisdom is the longest one in a person's life.
