New Camp on Darby Well Road in Ajo, Arizona....

1/4/2015

 
(  Writing this from Ajo, AZ  on January 4, 2015. )  

Even though we are finally up to date with the journal of our travels, we will continue to start each post with the location from which we are writing, since we never know if we will have an internet signal at future campsites , we'd like to keep up this routine.   Fortunately, here at Darby Well Road we have 4G service with our Verizon Hotspot.
Darby Well Road is off of AZ Hwy. 85 and basically runs north to south from I-10 in Phoenix to the Mexico border.  This is a popular boon-docking area with lots of BLM land to camp on for free.  You do have to observe the 14-day limit and move at least 28 miles to a new BLM location.
Here are some photos of our trip on January 2-3,  as we move from Pancho Villa State Park in New Mexico  to  Arizona.

Arizona has the greatest art work on their overpasses and retaining walls. About a half -hour past the New Mexico/ Arizona border, we lost the snow. Whew!

Our first stop is Benson, about 240 miles from Pancho Ville State Park. Along the way we pass some unusual rocks. The sky is still a little cloudy.

We camp at Karchner Caverns State Park in Benson, AZ for one night. It's cold here, just like all of the U.S. , but the sky is beautifully clear.

This is our view from our kitchen window.

On the 3rd, we move westward. At one gas station, we stop to eat our sandwiches and see these cool picnic shelters.

Across the roadway, I snapped this picture of two Saguaros. We were beginning to see more of these cactus and then we saw the sign to the Saguaro National Park.

I liked this gas station front as well as their picnic tables in Why, Arizona.

After traveling 150 miles from Benson, we finally find a perfect dispersed camping site on Darby Well Road off AZ Hwy. 85, 10 miles from the town of Ajo.
Tomorrow, more about our campsite on Darby.
Good night, all 😊
