Really enjoy the humor you incorporate into your video presentations. Thumbs up for the first and last campsites in this video. No thanks to the others. Your Indian taco made with fry bread looked yummy, but don't overlook the opportunity to treat yourself to fry bread enjoyed in the traditional manner, either drizzled with honey or dusted with cinnamon and sugar. Try it both ways, and see whether you can decide on a favorite.

You found some nice spots. The Oak Flat area is at risk of being lost in a land swap to the mines in the area. I am not sure of the current status. You were close on the jets. They are from Luke AFB on the northwest side of Phoenix and they are headed to the Barry Goldwater Gunnery Range, a large restricted land area in the southwest area of the state. It is an area you would not want to explore because there are probably some unexploded weapons laying around! Luke has been a primary training base for the F16 and is transitioning to the F35. Will you be spending anytime in sunny and warm southern Arizona or Mexico this winter? You do a great job of showing the area. That fry bread sure looked good. I think the bird attacking your jeep is a female phainopepla. It may have seen its reflection in the window and thought it was another bird invading its territory. That is common in the spring nesting season. Cactus wrens do that a lot. Thanks for the video.

Gary .... It would helpful if you could specify what you consider close and to what area of the Phoenix valley and also what kind of camping you are planning to do, tent, van, travel trailer, class A, etc. There are six Maricopa County campgrounds (Cave Creek, McDowell, Usury, White Tank, Estrella, Lake Pleasant) and Dutchman State Park but they charge in the low $30s for hookups and low $20s for ones that offer no hook ups. They have nice sites. There is Forest land north around Seven Springs and north of Apache Junction good for tents but RV spots may be harder to find. There are some Tonto Forest camp grounds so check their web site. They may charge. I do not know of "close" free. There are some BLM spots but most are not in areas that may not be what you have in mind for a family "camping" experience and are not real close.
