    Why Ajo

    We had so much fun in Why that we stayed a second week. Joe and Cleo and Joe's brother Dick and his wife Coletta arrived in time to join us on several wild outings, "wild" referring to pretty tough 4-wheel drive roads. We had heard about Marble Mountain where you can find volcanic geodes. The road was pretty bad, but it was worth it. One evening we had the opportunity to drive to the top of Childs Mountain (not bad road) where we enjoyed a 360 degree view of the world and a beautiful sunset. Another day took us to Charlie Bell Pass, the only legal (dirt) road through Cabeza Prieta Wildlife Refuge. Of course we visited Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, and at Ajo we took a peek into the now closed copper mine pit. The weather could not have been any better and we were sorry when the time came to leave...
