MY VERY MUCH MOST FAVORITIST BOONDOCKING SITE IN 13 YEARS |
FIRST TIME I'VE EVER SEEN A MUSHROOM GROWING OUT OF A TREE AND IT'S IN OUR BACK YARD |
THAT'S A BIG HOPPER FULL OF CORN OUT THERE |
WELL NOW I KNOW HOW THE BIRDS AND SQUIRRELS FEEL WHEN SOMEONE IS TAKING PHOTOS OF THEM THROUGH OUR SUNROOM WINDOWS |
PHEEBS HAS REALLY TAKEN TO HER NEW DOGGY BEDS |
THIS WAS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BOONDOCKING SPOT AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSE YOU CAN SEE KELLY STRETCHED OUT UNDER THE AWNING |
YEP THAT'S US WAY OUT THERE |
OUR LITTLE CORA (MOTORMOUSE) WAS A PART OF THE ORIGINAL BAYFIELD BUNCH ALONG WITH MAX AND CHECKERS |
SUNSET IN THE SONORAN DESERT WITH THE MIGHTY AJO MOUNTAIN RANGE IN THE BACKGROUND |

A guy goes to see the doctor for his aching shoulder problem. The doctor said, "Okay, it is a bit inflamed. What I want you to do is put a bag of frozen peas on it, on and off for a week." "The peas will work?" the guy asked. The doctor replies, "Yes, just give peas a chance."
====================
The desert w/mountains view is absolutely gorgeous. For 73 years I have yearned to travel to the southwest part of the United States. Never the first chance did I have. Al, have you ever been to the petrified forest? I forget what state it's in.
ReplyDeleteHave introduced myself to Jim Hagarty's writings - goodness, he is truly good! "Poor Daddy" made me laugh till I cried. Read it in one sitting.
Petrified Forest is in Arizona. Seen it in 2000.
DeleteBeautiful photos of a beautiful area. Always enjoy the Ajo area. Glad you introduced me to Ajo many years ago.
ReplyDeleteI have tried to sell my dear wife on camping up above Ajo, to have these views. But, every time we go up there, we see several Border Patrol wagons working the area. She prefers to be a little closer to other camps. So, we always set up down by Why.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying your side trips down memory lane.
A friend of mine posted a video of squirrels climbing a ground mounted, tall metal hook to his feeder. Then, he lubed it up with some WD40 and taped the little guys climbing up and sliding back down. Fun, but who has time to keep the lube going.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to dwell on memory lane, and right now I am relegated to do the same, but hey, don't give it up yet, Al. Both of you can still enjoy more trips south. I know the insurance is a problem, but I would even be going without it. I hate insurance companies as they try to rule our lives with their insane policies. I refuse to accept that for myself. Years ago, when we had to see a doc in El Centro we had supplemental insurance. We dropped off the papers signed a bunch of documents and when we got home we received a $4500 bill from the hospital as the company denied to pay. bad luck. I will never sign up again.
ReplyDeleteLove that area around Ajo and plan to make a trip at least by spring, maybe sooner. Of course if I had not been reading your blog I would have never known about Ajo. It was such an attraction it was high on the list of places to move to. I guess the hounds wouldn't mind a roadtrip to Ajo.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading many blog posts on Darby Road I was shocked to see the huge tailings pile alongside when we finally made it there! It is a beautiful area and one I look forward to getting back to. Your tree mushroom looks huge.
