Day 35 - Feb 12 - Ajo, Arizona

Well we finally have WIFI again, but it sure is slow. Started updating the missed days last night, but finally give up and went to bed after updating to Feb 11. Am going to get yesterdays done now. Here goes:


Well, its time to be on the road again. Pack up and prepare to move - usually takes about 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour. Say Goodbye to our neighbors - only met them yesterday, but seem like really nice people - Roy and Sherlyn. They are from Vancouver Island near Parksville. On the road by about 9:30AM - went into Seeley and filled with Propane - $2.49/ Gal -- We were down to 1/4 tank. While we were filling the "Blue Angels" were at it again, only this time giving a full performance right over their Base - What a performance, if we had only been at the spot at the south end of the runways, where we spent time over the last two days!! OH WELL, Murphy's Law!! We did get some more good shots though. Denice was just a clicking away while I filled with propane. Then we stopped again at a rest site along the highway ---- More Clicking ---Then travelled leisurely along Highway I-8 ( It is a nice freeway and not nearly as busy as I-10) to Gila Bend, then onto 85 to Ajo, Arizona. Decided to stop here for a day or two. Parked at Shadow Ridge RV Park right behind the Shell Service station. After settling in we decided to go on a little sight seeing tour that the Lady at registration desk had recommended. It is a 10 mile Loop road around Camelback Mountain and Pinnacle Peak. Just a great tour, and lots of all kinds of Cacti, Organ Pipe, Saguaro, Hedge hog, Barrel, Prickly Pear, Cholla, Ocotillo, Jojoba, and Mesquite, Ironwood, Paloverde and Elephant Trees. Also its in BLM Land so we think we may move up there day after tomorrow, and spend some more time "Boon Docking"Back to ELTORO by dark and BAR-B-Que'd Weiners for supper. Even hotdogs are GOOD when on Vacation!!
