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.

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.

Heading into AJO can notice all the mine tailings from open pit copper mine.

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.
