Ajo and Organ Pipe National Monument

We made the trip from Ironwood Forest National Monument to Ajo on Wednesday - a nice trip. Once here we were unsure where to park and so stopped in at the Chamber of Commerce to see where people boondock which we found out to be along the Darby Wells Road just south of town. So we headed there  - it was late afternoon - and so needed to find a spot. After traveling the entire road and back to Ajo we still hadn't found anything. Not many RVs and not many pull outs off the main road.


Road worn and getting late we headed down to the Organ Pipe National Mounument knowing that there was a campground there. We spent the night there which was good and not too expensive. After enjoying the morning there and then a visit to the Visitor Center which was great we headed back to Darby Wells Road determined to find a spot.


Well we did find a great spot this time about 6 miles in. We are surrounded by Saguaro Cactus and such and great red mountains to look at. The most common site are the Border Patrol trucks going by. We were visited by some very bold coyotes last night. Too bad I can't post pictures - Derek got a few pics of the coyotes and we have some taken some great ones of the cactus here and Cassia.


Big news today - Cassia is 20 months old!  ya for Cassia - she is growing like a weed and understands so much. Her new words this past week were UP and DOWN. She also knows very well about the prickles of the cactus and is thankfully very careful around them.
