Monday -- Gila Bend to Ajo

We began today in Gila Bend. We made our run to the Post Office to mail Megan's gift, and then back to the Love's to dump the MH tanks and to fill the gasoline tanks on the MH and car. Then, it was off to Ajo, 40 miles away. Along the way, we say a lot of groups of motorhomes returning from Mexico. This was a typical scene.....
Ajo was a pleasant surprise. For being in the middle of the desert, it is pretty nice. Not much grass in the yards, but they are well kept and neat. After we arrived in Ajo, we set up in the campground, and then headed off to the Organ Pipe National Monument park. The following are pictures at the park and enroute. The first two were along the road showing seguaro cactus. I don't remember the name of the cactus in the first picture with Patsy, but I can tell you that if you touch it, you will be picking small 'toothpick' size stickers out of your finger (about 4 of them!). The second picture with Patsy shows a "pipe organ" cactus along with some seguaro cactus. I think the last picture shows a cactus where smugglers hid drugs under it several years ago!! Boy, it is growing in a wierd way. There were others, also!! Got an email and phone call from my daughter-in-law today...... all good news. Her dad was hospitalized with a stroke. We were concerned, especially since we are headed into Mexico. Today, we found out that what he had was an "Inner Ear Infection".......... what a relief. The email contained some pictures and a video of our grandkids. Take a look. The first is the grandson with his wonderful mother, and the second is our grandaughter.....


Looking Forward

Tomorrow at 11:00am, we plan to meet up with 11 other rigs of RV'ers that we met over the RVAmerica bulletin board or at Quartzsite, and we will travel 90 miles into Mexico to Puerto Penasco. We are supposed to have WIFI at the Mexico campground, but I am not sure that is a given.

Also, Patsy and I found a nice campground at the Organ Pipe Monument National park today, and we are going to propose to the group that we spend a final night together there when we get back.
