This video was taken quickly on my first visit to the property which was after having bought the land. You will see in a later video that I have changed my mind about where to put my trailer, but for now, just go with it 🙂

 Windsor Valley and the White Mountains Have a signup from a Phoenix area resident seeking dark skies for the upcoming Perseids Meteor Shower on August 12-13. Due to the site’s off-grid location, it is far enough away from light pollution sources, placing it at the top end of Bortle class 2 light activity. Class 1, excellent dark sky, is rated 22.00 to 21.99. Ridge Valley Ranch has a 21.97 rating (average dark sky 21.99-21.89). As an example, the Galaxy Messier 33 in Triangulum (the Triangulum Galaxy), 2.73 million light years from Earth, can be seen with the naked eye! The peak for the meteor shower is on August 12 at 8:38 pm with 110 meteors per hour.
 The stars over Ridge Valley Ranch without a telescope. That’s M31 the Andromeda galaxy in the upper left. M33 Triangulum galaxy in the lower, just right of center.  Would like to welcome everyone who stops by to visit us at the ranch and stay to enjoy free camping! What you come for is the awesome view. From the Windsor Valley to the north, across the valley to the east, and the White Mountains to the south. You will be surrounded by junipers and pinon pines in the cool 6600′ air. The Ridge Valley Ranch is located in Concho, AZ, 22 miles from Show Low, 40 miles to the Petrified Forest National Park, Red Rock Lavender Farm, and a bounty of White Mountain attractions. Apache County stretches from the NE corner of the state to further than half-way south in the state, all along the eastern border of Arizona. The Ranch encompasses over 36 acres offering plenty of camping areas allowing for a private and quiet stay. A big benefit is no goat heads 🙂 There are a small number of cactus so please watch your step! The ranch is off-grid but provides some basic services including free firewood and wi-fi. Good cell service from AT&T and Verizon. For now, T-Mobile is available through a roaming partner. |
