John and I arrived in Ajo, AZ on January11 after having solar panels and a catalytic heater installed in the coach in Glendale. Since we got a late start out of Glendale, we decided to spend the night in Ajo, and then motor on to Organ Pipe National Monument the following morning. After discovering the beautiful old plaza here, and taking a look at the HUGE copper mine, we decided to stay a few days and explore. One of the places we explored was the Cabeza Prieta Wildlife Preserve. After driving in about 17 miles on a dirt road we did some hiking around the area. Found some pronghorn antlers, but didn't see so much as a rabbit. However, the following morning we encountered a Javelina when leaving the RV park. You just never know when the wildlife is going to appear.

Tomorrow we will leave for Organ Pipe after attending an old mission style church which is currently pastored by a Methodist. We were planning on attending the Presbyterian church, but met the organist for the Methodist church when we did a preview of Organ Pipe. She agreed to play my favorite hymn , so we decided to be Methodists for a day. After a week at our next destination, it's on to Rocky Point, Mexico where we have reserved a spot right on the Sea of Cortez. I can't begin to imagine how beautiful it's going to be watching the sunset while sitting on the beach in front of the coach.

After Rocky Point we will probably head for Yuma AZ and then on to CA. We will update the blog when we get to Yuma and have internet connection again.

Love to you all.
