My cowboy look! |
Tired boy. |
Had a strawberry smoothie. |
Beat to hell, but still works! |
Started out as a plank of pine. She did all this by hand while we watched. |
Drying process. |
Finished. |
We finally got to the exit gate and there was quite a line waiting to go into the U.S. Took about 45 minutes and there were a lot of vendors and women with babies trying to get the last of our money. I had no problem at all crossing the border with just my driver's license and birth certificate. No passport required.
Yesterday, Deb, Yuma and I drove into the Cargo Muchacho Mountains to explore the quarries and maybe a road that would take us through the mountains to the other side.
Military jets and helicopters are common. |
Looks like a good road leading somewhere. |
Large and deep quarry. |
Water down there but no signs of birds or animals. |
A lot of the travel is through washes. Not something I would do on a rainy day. |
An array of plant life in one area. |
See the Jeep down there? |
The ride in the wash came to an end when we hit a line of rocks that would be a waterfall in a rain. With all the lumps and bumps, we decided to call it a day and head back home. There is no way through the mountains in this canyon.
Amazing how that lady made that lovely sign while you waited. You and Deb had a super trip through the washes. Great pictures if the scenery there. I imagine it was a bumpy ride.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed the pictures Doug! Ellen
ReplyDeleteThe sign lady Sandra was so talented, she used a brush only to do the lettering and the saguaros, everything else was with a piece of cardboard or a plastic bag. The coyotes of course was a stencil.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the drive back into the Cargos, it was a fun way to see more. I didn’t think it was extremely rough but it definitely had a few bumpy patches.

It's amazing the paintings those people can make with just a spray paint can.
ReplyDeleteDo you air down your tires for a smoother ride?
