AJO AREA

We are now in the Ajo area of Arizona with our friends Gary and Georgine.  Been here for a couple of weeks mostly just hanging out in the warm sunshine!  Been doing a lot of walking and hiking.  Also a side trip or two with the jeep.  Below are some of the pictures of the area.

This is actually Gila Bend Air Force Station Fam Camp where we stayed a couple of nights before we drove down to Ajo.

Our camp in the desert.

We have had some great sunsets but the sunrises are few.  Not sure of the reason but they are not very spectacular this year as in years past.

Connie and Zeph in front of an Organpipe cactus.

Sometimes rabbits eat the bottom of the saguaro.

We found this bicycle frame out in the bombing range as we were driving along.  Must be a story here but we do not know it.

Some of the roads have a bit of slope to them.

Old railroad tracks that haven't been used in years.

Some rock formations near Dead Man's gap.

The base of an old dead saguaro.

Connie and Zeph about to change tracks on the railroad!!  That will surprise the engineer if they were still using these tracks.  And it is functional still.

Trash that accumulates on the railroad bridge.

We got quite a surprise when a barn owl flew out of this mine test hole one morning.
