Sherm and I planned a little ride up to the Moki Dugway in Utah. |
We decided to change those plans and head south as the temps in the high country are still rather low. |
About 10 miles north of Ajo, AZ is this beautiful little rock canyon. |
Enjoy these few pics while we ride ahead and take a few more. |
At one time Ajo was a thriving mining town, but has receded a lot since the mine played out. |
This old school house has since been adapted to a place where artisans can display their wares. |
We stopped in Why. Some ask us why stop there. We answered Why Not? |
This old pickup has been converted to a planter/water fountain. |
A blooming Ocotillo |
A very young castellated Saguaro |
Breakfast |
A beautiful roadside memorial shrine |
We were expecting to see a few wildflowers, but also expected them to be past their prime |
They were, but they were still very beautiful |
That blue wildflower to the right of the bikes is way past his prime. |
This guy was skinny, but sort of scared me when I thought I saw him move in the cameras view screen. He was about 5' long. |
He kept circling while I was photographing the snake. |
Sherm and I were discussing our thinning hair. He told me he didn't have any bald spots that he could see in the mirror. I told him I would fix that later. |
Peek a Boo |
I could have done without that! |
The 10 meter Scope on top of Kitt Peak. |
We stopped by here for Sherm to see the big town of Sasabe, AZ |
The Border Crossing at Sasabe was an American fiasco. You can google it and read all about it. |
You've heard of Prickly Pear Cactus, these are Prickly PanCake Cactus. |
I rode by here a year or two ago and it was coming soon then also. |
We are spending the night in Nogales on the American side and had our evening meal at this little place near the motel. |
Food was so so |
But, the phone connection was great! |
Thanks for the great pics. I loved visiting those areas when we lived in Tucson Mark MESHEGO1.
