Another beautiful morning. We had breakfast outside and about 11 o'clock, Shane stopped by for a visit. He and Cathy are heading eastward tomorrow and this is our last visit for this year. We're going to stick around through most of this week enjoying the great weather approaching this area finally.
It was around 2:30 when we decided to drive over to Locomotive Rock and check it out. I'm sure Nick will want to do some rock climbing. 😀 Me, not so much.😞

Locomotive Peak is a col looking place. I'm glad Nick had a good climb, but didn't risk life and limb going up the vertical stacks. Good to see the coffee house busy. Hope you keep having beautiful days in Ajo.
ReplyDeleteWeather is turning warm and may be slower on the hiking soon. It is a nice change.
DeleteI'm glad to see that Ajo coffee shop making a go of it. It's not easy for small business's in a lot of those smaller out of the way southwest towns.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be a bustling place. Mostly locals.
DeleteGlad you guys are getting a steady dose of perfect weather!Locomotive Rock is quite a unique formation. Again, great pics and looks like another beautiful sunset!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve. Nick really likes it here.
DeleteFinally ... some decent weather!! I'm hoping it stays.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will go from cold to hot in a flash. Got to be quick to catch it decent 😀
DeleteTime for a lot more carbs and milkshakes LOL. Looks beautiful there! Glad the coffee shop is doing so well! Love the sunset picture!
ReplyDeleteGot to start back up on those carbs. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteMany of the businesses in the local desert are seasonal, do you know if the little coffee shop stays busy in the summers.
ReplyDeleteNot sure, but I do believe it's year round. Didn't go in and chat with owners.
DeleteWhen Al asked about the coffee shop I couldn't picture the location. But seeing the picture....I went in there. Nice people....Elva
ReplyDeleteIt was a busy. I was with Yuma so stayed outside.
DeleteYou're right Franklin. Would be nice to go back and do these things when I was younger. At least I'm healthy just don't have the strength I once had 😀
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice that it's warming up, finally. But will it last?
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures of the Locomotive and stack rocks.
Thank you Patsy. I think we have turned the corner. More warm than cold.
DeleteI need to try that “boondocking diet” !!!
