Locomotive Rock

 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.😞

Yuma says "Let's head over there!"

Nick is on the climb.

Climbing between the smoke stacks.

The stacks are quite vertical and Nick was smart enough not to chance a fall.  We don't need to hit the Ajo Copper Newspaper. 

Our parking spot for the hike.

Al from the Bayfield Bunch, asked in last night's comment section if the Coffee Shop at the downtown mall make a go  of their business they started back when he and the bunch were last here.  Based on the activity in the picture below I think the Coffee business is booming in Ajo.

Today was just perfect with a high of 75 and just a little wind.  We laid outside till dinner and then grilled two double cheeseburgers and a potato.  Weighing for the first time this morning revealed I'm down to 143 pounds and need to get back on the carbs before I fritter away. 😁

Thanks for stopping by.
