Camped along Mule Creek Road, Guthrie AZ, March 29, 2008

I'm camped for the night along Mule Creek Road (AZ 78) in the Apache - Sitgreaves National Forest, about 11 miles east of Guthrie AZ and a mile west of the Arizona / New Mexico border.

Primitive camping along Mule Creek Road

After having spent the night in the first rest area west of the New Mexico border when I came through here a couple of weeks ago 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. I'm at one of them now.

The Value of Time

Time is the most valuable and finite commodity that any living thing has. Think about it, everything – you, me, people, plants, animals, even the Earth itself – has a limited and set amount of time. From the moment we come into existence, we begin an inevitable march to a final end. Even the age of our solar system exists in but a minute of time within the context of the history of the universe. The average human lifespan does not even register on that clock. With that said, in many ways, time is the very definition of life itself.
