Moving On

 

Mom and I finally made it to Ajo and met up with Michael. We had a wonderful adventure exploring Chico Shunie. The pictures I took do not do this part of the world justice. Cabeza Prieta was just an amazing place and I wanted to stay longer and explore more. Michael was a wonderful host and was very knowledgeable about the area. Mom and I really enjoyed our day. It was just fantastic.

When we dropped Michael off our plans was to grab a bite and then go to the bakery and listen to some music. My brakes had a different plan. This time I felt a loss of power, enough to concern me. I went back to the park, found my road assistance number and left late morning. I was not a happy camper. When we left I saw a golden eagle and took that as a positive sign. We made it to Sells Arizona and the brake lights came back on so I stopped at a gas station and waited. We made it to Tucson late afternoon and the van will be going in tomorrow. They are going to find out what is wrong and that is that. Mom and I would have like to have stayed longer in Ajo, explored the Buenos Aires National Refuge and try to see Tubac before they close the state park. I don’t like to be in Tucson because it gets a hold of you and doesn’t turn loose. We are here until the 4th of March and by that time we should be through with our yearly physicals. Let’s hope the doctor doesn’t want to keep us.

The internet at this park is really poor. I will be on when I can. I will be uploading pictures as well.

 

  

  

  

  

  

  

All For A Date Shake

Today was the petroglyph site and as soon as we get the generator fixed we will be staying in place like that. A truly beautiful place and so quiet. We also met a very nice gentleman and he talked us to driving to Dateland for a date shake.  It was very good.  Trust me on that one.

Since we purchased our van we have had a unique problem. We have had it checked out and the only sensible conclusion would be an airplane flying overhead or radar in the air. We have had so much fun with it though. You see our horn will honk, or the doors will lock sometimes with the horn letting us know and sometimes not. Our TV turns itself off and on as well. We jokingly say “we have a ghost.” Ok I will admit we blame dad. The doors lock and mom will say “dad is around.” Tonight mom and I were engrossed with an intense Law and Order. It was coming to the conclusion and mom and I were glued…. Then the TV shut itself off. I yelled “Dad knock it off.” As soon as I said it, the TV came on. Hmmm


We are in Ajo and will be visiting Michael tomorrow. We plan to spend two nights here before continuing our slow trip back to Tucson.
