Winter is when this valley fills up, cranes coming over in ragged strings at dusk and the sites filling with people who drove a long way to sit outside in January. SKP Saguaro Co-Op of Arizona keeps the shared ground worth sitting on, with common lawns mown, gravel lots kept clear of weeds, and trimming around the ramadas and the walks between sites. Mornings are cold enough for a jacket and warm by ten, which leaves the middle of the day perfect for outside work. There is a genuine pleasure in a shared space that stays tidy without anyone having to organize it. By the time March warms the desert again, the whole place is in shape for whoever stays on.
