Hike up some Cow Plops

 Had another good night.  In fact Yuma had to wake me at 9 o'clock or I might have slept the day away.  Stayed warm last night so didn't even need to kick on the heat to get rid of the chill as I've done the last few mornings.

Stepped outside to a beautiful quiet morning.  Fixed my coffee and crackers and Yuma and I sat outside and just enjoyed the serenity of the area.  If wasn't for the tinnitus in my ears there would have been dead silence.

It was past noon before I finished all my breakfast courses.  I was enjoying just being lazy.  I had to put up a canvas screen to keep the sun away because I'm facing west and it is darn hot in the sun.  Works perfectly.

I had a project to do.  While coming out, the bathroom door came loose and was starting to come apart.  I took it down and put it aside till I found some time to repair it and today is the day.  All I have to do is glue it back together and put it back up.  I should be able to manage.

As you can see, Yuma was watching to make sure I did it right.  Once I was done I laid it in the sun to dry and Yuma said it was 2 o'clock and time for a Jeep ride.  He is tired of just hanging around.

We decided to take the scenic tour around the west side of Ajo Mountain and go through Ajo and back home.  As I drove along I was surprised to see all the empty RV sites with no one in them.  No crowds this year.

As we drove along we came up on the cow plops that Al Travel with the Bayfield Bunch and I had walked around a number of years ago.

Yuma was raring for a hike, so decided this was the place to do it.  See why they are called cow plops?

Look at that beautiful Organ Pipe Cactus next to that plop!  It is huge and beautiful.

There is another one!

See Yuma at the top of the tallest cow plop?  He wants me to come up and take a look.  Not sure about this.

I made it and Yuma was right.  You could see for miles.  That's Black Mountain across the way.

To the East is Ajo Mountain.  On the other side at the base is the town of Ajo.  See the cross at the top?  By the time we got down and back to the Jeep I was ready to call it a day.  Walked 6300 steps today.  Still short of my goal but I'll make it.  No hurry.  We didn't go around Ajo Mountain and through town, we just went the short way back the way we came.  It was already heading toward 4 o'clock.

At home I put up the bathroom door without a problem.  Yuma held the door while I put the screws in the hinges. 😁

That's me holding the handy dandy screw driver after my work was completed.  Yuma couldn't hold the camera steady, thus the out of focus picture.

It was then time to get dinner ready.  Had the exact same thing as last night and it was ready to eat just as the sun went down to the west.  Everything was excellent again!

As I was editing pictures, I received a video call from my next door neighbor, Wade on Messenger.  Never done that before and it works great.  We had a nice chat and he mentioned that he and his wife, Debbie are coming out to the Phoenix area next month.  They have a daughter that lives out here.  I'll try to time it so I'm in the Phoenix area around the time they are here.

Finished my blog now and ready to watch some TV for awhile before calling it a day. 

See you later.
