Short Hike with a Friend

Sunday, January 8, 2017

Woke up early this morning for some coffee and bacon and eggs.  All out of cereal and milk, so will have to make a run to Olsens Market Place later this morning.

I notice it is going to be a hot one today, so decide to head over to Al’s spread a little early.  I know he is up before the sun every morning and we don’t want to hike in the heat.  Supposed to get above 70 real quick today.  That Travel With The Bayfield Bunch are early birds, for sure.

About 9:15, Yuma and I jumped in the Jeep for the short drive to his place.  Short, but some beautiful scenery.

There’s their place.

Kelly was on the phone with her daugher, so it was just me and Al, chatting and slowly hiking toward the top of the cow plops, as Al calls them.

His faithful Pheebs just behind to catch him, if he should fall.

We’re a little slow for these two.

We made it.

The scenery is beautiful.

There is Al’s home.

Made it safely down and Al is looking and searching for his motorhome.

Finally!  A little rest in the shade.

Kelly joined us and we had a nice little chat about the old days, and too soon, it was time to leave my good friends and head on into town for a few groceries. 

Hope we all can make it to the Bloggerfest.  In this way of living, you just never know what’s just down the road or just over the next hill or just around the next curve.  I guess that’s why we like it.

I continue on down the road that brought me to Al’s place and it will circle around the Ajo Mountains and will drop me right into Ajo.  This is called the Scenic Loop.

I rounded a corner and there it is down below.  Glad there is a guardrail to keep me from falling right on someone’s house.

Went on over to Olsens and got the groceries and Yuma and I hightailed it home for a day of rest.  Talked enough for one day.  Will save photos of Ajo for another day.

See you later.
