Darby Well Road, Ajo, AZ - March 13-14
Two more days boondocking in 90+ degrees. Our first day here we decided to see if John Edens, whom we had volunteered with at Chaco, was still volunteering at Cabeza Prieta NWR. He was, they told us, and he was staying on Darby Well road! So we went out for a walk, looking for his motorhome & found it less than a mile from our rig. He invited us in (after getting dressed since he was just stepping into the shower when we knocked) & told us about a talk that night at the Senior Center in Ajo by a ranger from Organ Pipe NM. The talk was on summer secrets of the desert and was very good.
Our second day we drove past the open pit mine (the reason for Ajo's existence) before doing some grocery shopping. We then joined John Edens for a cookout at his rig. In all we had a restful stay in a quiet, scenic & secluded spot.# posted by Doug and Willie @ 11:42 PM
