Ajo!

Ajo is about 160 miles from Yuma, an easy drive, and most of it quite scenic. Steve drove us right to our camping spot from last year, and we settled in. We drove around a little and found John and Hey, camped along a bigger road. He has to go into town for water today, and then will move over here in a spot next to us. Chris will be coming down from Tempe tomorrow to spend the weekend. Thanks to Steve installing an aerial on top of the Royal Palms before we left home, we can now get an internet connection right from our campsite. Last summer we had to go into Ajo and use the library computers. When we got here yesterday afternoon, the temperature was 78 degrees. I put on my shorts! It's still a bit crispy at night, but we're not complaining. And oh, the stars at night!

I need to run into town this morning and pick up some maps at the wildlife refuge office, and then we plan to go exploring this afternoon in the Samurai. I'll take some pics of our campsite and the area and add then to the next post.
