AJO

We got down here to Ajo yesterday and it is pretty warm and dry.  Talked to the folks at Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge today, and they have closed part the refuge and a lot of the blm area that we bike in because of the desert pronghorn antelope calving season is early this year because of the dry conditions.  And there are not any flowers down in this part either.  We thought AZ was getting a lot of moisture this winter, but I guess we were wrong.  We are looking at our options right now so stay tuned.

We went for a nice hike this morning, but really tired out the old dog.  I think he will get to do a short walk in the mornings now, then Connie and I will go for ours.  Also went into town to the wildlife refuge headquarters and  to do a grocery shop.  Saw lots of for sale signs on houses down here.

The camp at sunset.

Not much color for the sunset though.

Sunrise this morning was a little more colorful.

One must always take a picture of the Ocatillo's flowers.  The humming birds are really working these around here now as there are no other flowers.

This is the view in Ajo's plaza.  We always stop at the little coffee shop and have a tea or coffee.  There are two churches, one on each side, and the city government building in the center.  Very cute town center.
