Then Mike had found a group of three tents and we could rent one, so we did. It was in the Arizona desert and would give great views of the stars at night since there was no light pollution. Great idea!!
The tents were teepee like tents with not much ventilation, double bed, flashlight and a book about where you could eat in town – 10 miles back, 2 camp chairs inside and a picnic table and hammock outside and a portajohn a little ways from the tent. The portajohn was very clean and I think recently put out. But … We made the best of it.
We bought a bottle of wine after supper in town and watched the beautiful sunset while sitting outside having our wine. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy night so the sunset was beautiful but no stars. The temperature in the tent when we went to bed at 11 PM was about 95 so sleep was slow coming. I got up about 2 AM and the sky had cleared so we went out to see the stars and take pictures. We probably won’t do that again unless there is running water and an air-conditioner.
