We wanted to stay somewhere about halfway between St. David and Winterhaven, CA. So while making our travel plans and looking at the map I spotted what appeared to be a small town out in the middle of the desert. So I found an RV park that looked interesting and since it was only going to be two days I said why not. We left St. David yesterday morning and met Dad and Marge for brunch at an airport (Ryan Field) Todd's Place is the name Link to Todd's Place. It turned out to be a real nice restaurant and we all had a good meal. It was good to see them one last time on this trip down.
The highway we followed was AZ-86 (Ajo-Tucson Hwy.), It is the old route before the interstate. It was 120 miles of cactus, and brush and not much else, very flat and straight, but beautiful in it’s own way. Most of the drive was through the Tohono-O’Odham Indian Reservation. Most of the traffic (and there wasn’t much) were border patrol vehicles and helicopters, the border is not far.
When we pulled into Ajo (pronounced ah-ho) we were right, it’s a small mining town but the jewel is the campground, we are at (Ajo Heights RV Park) Link to Park. Most of the people are here for the season and know each other well. We got here right at happy hour and the locals wasted no time coming over to meet us and introduce themselves. What nice people!
New friend with his MURSE (his word for mans purse) he won at bingo. Notice the white wine in the foam cup.
Today we will explore the area, take some pictures, Meet new people, and have tooo much fun.
More Later, Rich
