A perfect desert day here in Why !

Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it
       After a nice travel day yesterday and some perfect weather. We enjoyed a great nights sleep. Cool enough for sleeping and 48F at 4:30 this morning. As the sun came up it was warming up nicely I got my first desert walkabout done before 8 am first mile of the day.
as the sun was rising
      Walking around noticed where the heavy rains last week and been flowing and a lot of the roads here had issues but have been plowed again to fix them up. Also noticed quite a few more tent campers here than last fall, but still lots of open spaces for camping.
there is cool wood stove inside this huge tent
so peaceful all the time here
lots of Saguros here
they have been fixing the roads
the BIG FISH is back
          Heading into AJO can notice all the mine tailings from open pit copper mine.
looks like snow in the distance 
         And by 8:30 did  nice drive to Ajo checking out Olson's grocery store and picked up a couple of food specials. Home by 9:30, its getting nice and warm, 70F no wind . So into my shorts deployed our awning and enjoyed some reading in the shade for a while. After a light tasty lunch another walkabout enjoying this desert scenery, so peaceful here.
    Some interesting History of AJO can be  read HERE the Phelps Dodge open pit copper one that ceased operation in 1985.
         Night of the Lepus is a science fiction horror movie filmed here in Ajo in 1972. This mural below.
more desert artwork?
     After lunch I took a walkabout around the corner to the WHY NOT Store just because I could before it got too hot.
a few wildflowers, will be more soon
Water Tap by the empty gas station
for sale
     Across the street is the WHY NOT store, love their murals the last stop before crossing into Mexico.

and of  course the old truck water fountain
with Music blaring from it.
     Back home to enjoy this wonderful warm sunny day. Reading in the shade.
the we love and are here for
    After our Happy hour time to whip up supper some tasty chicken thighs they had on sale .77 cents a lb so cooked them and some left overs for lunches.
so tasty and our Bourbon BBQ sauce make them amazing
      Supper just abut done and caught the beginning of another nice desert sunset.

that was the end of our sunset 
     Another perfect desert day here in Why, relaxing enjoying the scenery and warm sunny days with my honey. Really it does not get much better in our books.

  2. I think the Why Not store used to be a restuarant at one time, either that or the building just looks like that place.

  3. It is nice to have the warmer temperatures. We do like the Why/Ajo area. A nice place to hang out and relax for a while. We talked about heading that way after my sister left then decided to stick around Quartzsite a little longer. Enjoy the quiet.

    1. It is hard to leave the desert for cooler weather, so we will make it last as long as possible.
      It sure is a nice peaceful place.
