Finding America: Hidden Sedona

The BLM (The Bureau of Land Management) locations have been limited. But some of the locations were amazingly quiet, beautiful and remote. Most BLM land and National Forests locations allow free camping

Tools of the trade. The gloves were a lifesaver on the hands. Satellite device just as important.

Long pants probably would be worthwhile, but a compromise in the heat.

The reward was finding more hidden places
