Quick overnight trip to the northern AB on Tuesday (5/13) before temps get too hot. Camped at a spot i like along the Coyote Canyon road. High temp for the afternoon was 88°. Quiet afternoon with no traffic passing by my campsite. Very nice. Did an out-and-back bike ride from Christmas Circle on Borrego Springs Road and the Texas Dip on Wednesday. Links to photos and ride track below.

I hope you dismantled your illegal firepit before you left.

Last time i camped at that site there were the remains of a fresh campfire complete with burned trash and melted aluminum cans. Was disgusting. I don't understand how people can be so uncaring and disrespectful. I cleaned it up best i could.

Linda, you were joking about the fire pit right? I didn't build it. Looks like it's been there a while. It's up a ridge north-east of the main Coyote Canyon road.

Didn't go that far. I had my bike on the roof rack and can't do rough roads with the bike. The side-to-side motion induces too much torque on the bike and can rip the rack off the jeep. I know this from experience.

I like the 'ocotillo's perspective of an ocotillo' photo!

Why would I joke about an illegal fire pit. Since it was in your trip photos and didn't say you found it out there and there was wood in it I figured it was yours. Sorry. We are volunteers with the Adopt a Wash program and we clean Coyote Canyon. Including removing fire pits. This may have been there after our last clean up. Where is it exactly so we can get it next week when we go out?

If you click on the photo in the flickr album and read the description you'll see that i mentioned it was old. It's up a ridge a ways from the main road. It may be historic. Thanks for your volunteer work in the park. I do a lot of "free-lance" cleanup myself and would NEVER build a fire pit nor have a ground fire of any kind.

Florian,
Glad you had a great trip in AB after your Arizona hike. Looks like we all may need to be camping at higher elevation soon to keep cool and get water as peak dez. season winds down.
Fire Rings. Hate to be the bearer of news but, there are tons of Fire rings through out the ADDSP wilderness. Some quite old. Many at old native village sites still used by todays travelers. Personally I don't build fires. I use my MSR stove , eat and drop dead in my tent , feet exhausted to be ready for the next day.:-)
