Just another wonderful quiet night and a good sleep. Quite mild again 55F at 5 am and by 10 it was 74F on a slightly overcast day, Another very nice warm desert day.
No visible sunrise this morning and I did get short early morning walkabout. Then into Olsens in Ajo for a few groceries.

After the groceries I stopped by the Open Pit copper mine just because I was in town anyway. Back in the day this was the lifeblood of the community here. Now just one big hole in the ground.
The new
Cornelia Copper mine in AJO this was shut down in 1983, The open pit mine is 1.5 miles across and 1,100 feet deep.

Back home, putter around for a while enjoying this very nice day and at 81F overcast and no humidity it almost felt cool.
