        More wonderful  sleeping weather, 50F overnight so comfy and the fresh dry air perfect. But now have to tell you last night I fell asleep as usual watching tv on my new recliner. When Suzie woke me up for bed I went to get up and my chair slipped off the stack of wood under each to the 5 legs. Almost disaster the chair and me almost fell down the entry stairwell. Luckily it did not and I survived. Phew,  that was scary. No problem though off to bed to saw more logs. Guess I wiggled a bit too much and almost had an oops.
       Got a few walkabouts this morning only 3 miles today but better than none and enjoyed this mild weather.
this morning's sunrise
       A quick trip to Olson's in AJO for some plywood, they had plywood but not what I wanted, for my chair but no Luck, picked up a few supplies anyway
heading back home past the finings from the copper mines
      Part of my walkabouts today took me by many people camping here in tents. Campfires going for heat and for cooking, plus they have access to washrooms and showers. nice for them.
a nice area for tents if that is your style
          If you remember my picture from yesterday of my chair modification I found the perfect height but almost caused a disaster last night.
got the height right but not stable yet
this will do for now until the perfect fix
         Pictures of some of my walkabouts today just enjoying this wonderful desert scenery.
traces of the Burros could hear then but no sightings
other than this
      Below a couple of pictures of some of these year round camp sights, they are huge.
     After lunch we enjoyed our e-readers outside as we usually do, when a couple from British Columbia Canada dropped by to ask about our Shaw Satellite dish, he cannot get his set up. We Chatted for a while and I said I would drop by and get it set up for him. Not a problem.
Terry and Bill I will set up their dish for them tomorrow
     We did not have a lot of afternoon sunshine until about 4 pm but was a very nice 74F. Sure gotta love it!
        A bit later made a salad for supper and was preheating our Weber Q when a blog follower Joanne from British Columbia as well stop by to introduce herself. Has been following our travels for a while and came here from following the blog. They love it here! Second time for them. They are in a class B camper van in the right of this picture
so nice to meet people who follow our travels
glad she dropped by
what a wonderful lady wish we
 could spend more time chatting
      But it was getting soon time for supper. The sun was setting and our Weber Q preheated.
another excellent desert sunset
      Tonight a couple of Turkey Garlic sausage from Ontario grilled to perfection.
added to our salad we enjoyed another tasty meal
        Hey, glad that you took the time today to drop by and see what we doing.

       So peaceful here and after a great nights sleep up early as usual hopping for a nice sunrise and we were not disappointed.
what a wonderful sunrise to start a perfect day
      Then about 7:30 I headed out for my first walkabout enjoying the quite roads through this desert campground as the sun warmed the day and hit out solar panels charging our batteries. Fully charged by noon, gotta love it even with a few clouds here and there. No need to tilt our panel now at this time of year with longer hours of sunlight and the sun higher in the sky.
this a place we really enjoy
the roads and trails so nice
looks like this Cholla is making babies!
love the views
this guy is still trying to catch the big one here
           Next walkabout around the park, over to the Why Not store, just because I could, always like to check it out there.
Why Not?
love this old truck when the water is flowing
A coyote still hanging out here
people must feed him
           Now with this intense sun we had own awning opened by 10 am and even though it was only 65F and a 5 mph wind from behind us, we needed some of that shade, nice to be able to still wear shorts. And enjoy this weather.
what a perfect place to hang out
over view , not to shabby
           After lunch a couple more miles around the campground enjoying the scenery and quiet here with this desert place we enjoy.
they even have a handicap washroom and shower here as well
      Now enjoying the shade and our e-readers on a perfect spring day, watching the wild life, Today only this tiny critter that kept popping out here and there, Did manage to get a quick shot , not great but there he is.
not sure what he is but cute and quick
       A bit later saw some Gamble's Quails skitter on by but too quick for me to get a picture, Always love to see and here them here in the desert.
we do have a nice spot
         A bit later I prepped some Baby back ribs for our Weber Q that we like to do with sauerkraut , for the recipe you can click here or my recipe blog top right sidebar.
after a couple of hours low and slow, glazed them on our grill mat
with our favourite BBQ sauce
salad, kraut and fall off the bone sticky ribs
awesome!
      Supper done and now to enjoy a wonderful desert sunset after a perfect sunny desert day.
How can we get so lucky? To be able to enjoy this weather and living our dream.
not bad at all, we will take it
      Ok we had a great day no rain, enough sunshine , warm enough for shorts, no bugs, no wind, no rain. Wonderful sunrise and sunset, and a tasty dinner with my honey. Does not get much better than this.
         Thanks again for stopping by and I just know you had a wonderful day as well, wherever you are.

         Another wonderful day  pretty warm overnight windows open for a nice sleep, really gotta love it ! At 5 am was about 57 f and waiting for the sunrise to soon happen. Then get a nice walkabout. Did walk some of the permitted road 1. 5 miles . Stopped by to chat with Deb and Riley (The long Lonesome Road) on my way home. For a bit. Had a very nice morning walk.

love the scenery around here, lots of cactus
shuffle board courts here as well
campsites with large Saguaro cactus on them

        After puttering around for a while and nice a light tasty lunch, we both got into our page turner books.  Enjoying the quiet desert , a few coyotes strolling by (missed the pics) and the wonderful; scenery here that we love.
nice views
this be us so peaceful here
            Soon  time to whip up supper so I prepped a salad, while the Weber Q preheated and put a couple of chicken legs and thighs on the grill plus a 1/2 of a yellow pepper, just cause I could.
just about done and we enjoyed another wonderful desert sunset.
chicken done and a grilled yellow pepper as well
we do love our chicken 
        By the time supper was done it had really cooled down to 55F (12c) with a cool NE wind so no more sitting outside. Gonna be a cool desert night so will spend it inside . Another great night for sleeping. After this blog is posted and we can watch a bit of tv.

Where are we today ?

      Just another wonderful desert day here. Last day here before we head on down the road. Perfect sunny day, no clouds, our solar just sucking up the power from the sun. No need to tilt them now as the sun gets higher in the sky and shines much longer.
        Early morning walkabout with my very tall shadow following me down the trails.
me following me
     A few walkabouts here and just enjoying this amazing weather. A quick trip to Olsen's IGA in Ajo for a few needed supplies and home just after 9 am.
       Now to take in this awesome weather. It was windy for a while but we found a nice wonderful spot behind our coach with no wind and sunshine.  Only got to 62 f but with the sun and no wind was wonderful. Enjoyed our e readers, walkabouts, and more reading was a great way to spend the day, before we hit the road in the morning. Checked tires and stuff, Weber Q and chairs stored after supper all is good to go.
what's not to love about this weather?
        After our Happy hour and discussing our possible travel plans, (written in chalk) time to whip up supper. something we have no had for a while Bush's Baked Beans and Hot dogs. Easy , quick and tasty, nice change.t
sitting by our Weber Q enjoying my e-reader while the beans
heated up
one dog each and some beans
does the trick
my dog loaded, peanut butter, tomatoes, onions,
Mayo,mustard, jalapeño peppers,and relish
       Nothing fancy but sure took care of the craving. Thanks for stopping in and I am sure you had a great day as well.
