The other is that was not a full moon in that picture. The full moon is not till December 12th at 12:12 AM Eastern Time. Dolly let me know that in her comment. Just stepped outside and it sure looks full to me, but I'm wrong.
After breakfast, Yuma and I jumped in the Jeep and headed for Ajo about four miles away. Before getting to town, I wanted to give Yuma a bathroom break so I wouldn't have to worry about picking anything up in town. He did his job and ran quickly back to the Jeep.

He's a jumper alright.
We then went into Ajo and stopped first at the gas station to fill the Jeep and clean the windshield.
Next it was to the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge Headquarters to pick up a permit allowing me to enter the refuge. They have a small museum with local wildlife, so I shot a few.
    
I headed to Olsens Market Place to pick up a few items and started my drive back home.
Stopped at the Ajo Copper News building to pick up the current paper to see what interesting events are happening this week. Notice how the roof of the building on the left matches the roof in the mural and the lines to the right of the building match the musical chords in the mural.
 
Yuma wanted to stop by the Ajo Mall because it has green grass, so that's where we went next.
  
This last one is the walkway in front of the historical Ajo train station.
Then it was home to rest for awhile.
I could have laid in the lounger till the sun set but Yuma wanted to go for one last hike.
There is Black Mountain straight up the wash looking west towards the setting sun.
Enough for one day. Time for Yuma and I to eat dinner, do the blog and go to bed.
See you later.

You boys had a busy day. I don't remember the train station. It is really something with all the arches. That Yuma was flying high to get back in the jeep. Have a good night!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dolly. Yuma sure a great companion. He behaves much better on this trip than in the past. Maturing I guess.
ReplyDeleteYou are a pretty good shot if you got all those animals in one shooting!! lol I have been in Ajo enough times but never saw the mural you showed in that light. That is very interesting. Hope you and Yuma enjoy your stay there. Safe Travels.
ReplyDeleteGlad you learned something from my blog. There are footprints in the cement up by by highway 85 and if you stand there that's the result. Hope you're over your Mexican Welcome.
DeleteLove the picture of the jumping Yuma. Who is such a neat place. But I dont remember seeing the mural.
ReplyDeleteThat mural has been there for many years. I just love the thought and effort that went into it. The skies are running horses.
DeleteBeautiful area that you are in, we keep saying we need to get there one day. love the pic of Yuma! What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteYou must come here. There are many jeep roads through the refuge and trails to walk. Be sure to stop at the refuge headquarters for permit and information.
DeleteI remember RV Sue used to shop at Olsens grocery & I think she got rotisserie chickens there ? Those arches are neat & of course, who wouldn't love the jumping Yuma. 😎
ReplyDeleteDid the jumping Yuma just for you. Too bad RV Sue had to settle down. I understand though.
DeleteAwwww ! You know me so well, Doug. I love Yuma & Pheebs - such comical, loyal, beautiful dogs. 🎀
DeleteNice day you enjoyed in beautiful downtown Ajo.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeff. Just a gorgeous day for a walk.
DeleteI am pretty sure I have a picture of that building and never noticed that about the roof. There are some beautiful murals in Ajo. I don't blame Yuma that is a pretty green grass area in the Plaza.
ReplyDeleteGreat last shot of the sun on the Saguaro.
Thanks Deb. Ajo is a beautiful little town. There footprints in the sidewalk on highway 85 that causes this result. Very beautiful mural.
DeleteNice photos of the mural, the train station and Yuma. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Elva. It was a beautiful day for a little ride into town.
DeleteAnd it's Survivor night!
DeleteWe met the fellow (Wander Wolf) who was instrumental in the painting of that mural and he told us the musical notes you see are the opening notes for 'Ghost Riders In The Sky'. Wander Wolf (Mike) still lives in Ajo and has done most if not all the murals you see in Ajo.
