IN THE AJO AREA

7 March 2020:  Gary and Georgine arrived the other day and we are all camped out in the BLM south of Ajo, AZ.  We have camped at this site many times and call it the Bandito site as this was where we had some trouble with illegals trying to steal stuff out of Gary and Georgine’s pickup.  Long story short, guns were drawn and most of the stuff was recovered.  One person arrested.  Sheriff came and picked him up.  What is crazy is it happened on a night of a full moon.  And a full moon is coming up pretty fast and we are camped in the same place!!!  But we do have some either Army folks or border patrol folks set up about a mile south of us on a hill.  And with the border fence being built south of us, they are probably trying to get across while the getting is good.  We have been doing some great hikes around here and also been out on the gunnery range checking out all the flowers.

And the big news for Connie and I is that we got the truck all fixed up and the extended warranty covered all of the cost to get it replaced because of the low miles on the pickup.  Wahoo!
