Location: Darby Well Road near Ajo, Arizona
This morning I didn't wake up till Yuma barked at me to get up. It was 8 o'clock and he wanted his walk and breakfast. I had hiked way too much yesterday and my legs and feet are killing me today. I soaked them last night, but will need more this morning if I'm going to get around.
It is a beautiful morning, already 61 degrees and will get to 75 this afternoon. There isn't a cloud in the sky. So, today Yuma and I are going to take it easy and rest. Maybe go for a few walks close by.
I left off yesterday just as we entered the road heading into the Ajo Mountains. Not much to talk about. I'll just let you enjoy the views. The road is one way and mostly gravel with paved sections at the low washes and the steep grades so any type of vehicle can enjoy the 21 mile drive.

| See the arch? |
I'm going to leave you here at my first sighting of the arch. We'll finish up tomorrow.
See you later.
Beautiful pictures. That one saguaro was really tall! And no arms yet. Pretty organ pipe cactus, too. love the arch.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dolly. Tried hiking up to it. My feet gave up before I could get close enough for a picture:((
DeleteLove, love your pictures! That drive had a lot of WOW moments for us :) Sorry that you did too much and had to pay for it after getting home :( I think you need Dolly with you so she can tell you when enough is enough :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I tried climbing to the arch. But my feet gave up on me:((. Wasn't the best idea in city shoes.
DeleteWow, gorgeous pictures, Doug. Thank you for extending our southwest for us this way. Your fourth picture is my favourite today. stunning!
ReplyDeleteTake it easy, don't overdo the hiking!
Thanks Patsy. I'm done with the mountain climbing for now.
DeleteWonderful pictures. I'm certain that was an enjoyable ride.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe and Enjoy the warmer weather.
It's about time.
Thanks Kathy. Going to be in the mid 80s this weekend. Warm enough for me.
DeleteMy old marathon trick after running for six hours was electrolytes. Drink a gatorade or something like that and you will feel much better the next day. Beautiful pictures ... it sure is pretty country.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy. Good idea on the Gatorade. Need to get some. I seem to never drink enough liquid.
Deletewow - a perfect day for your ride and hike, easy to see why you overdid it a bit. Enjoy the great weather you're having.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeff. Weather is warming fast. Maybe too much. I'm done with mountain climbing for now. :))
DeleteThanks Doug for the fabulous pictures and as Patsy commented on extending the southwest for us. Looking at the snow is just not the same.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. The weather is warming quickly now.
DeleteFinally catching up, our internet connection was bad where we were. Tom and I love the area you are in. No matter what ride you take the scenery is beautiful. Your pictures are wonderful as always. You and Yuma keep enjoying and take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb. This are is pretty area but getting pretty warm already. Mid 80s by this weekend. Just have to enjoy sitting in the shade listening to the Cactus Wrens :))
