A Walk in the Wash

When we pulled into this site last Monday, the plan was to stay one, maybe two nights before moving on to a more desirable site. The longer we stayed, the more the site started to grow on us. It's a nice high'n dry level site with a great view to to the south.



The only down side is it's proximity to the road.  




With little traffic and the prevailing wind blowing any dust away from us to the north, we saw no reason to move.

In the desert, dry river beds (washes) are like an alternate road system for ATV's, motorcycles, bicycles, wildlife and hikers.  Today we're going for a walk in the wash behind our campsite.  This is the same wash that was flowing the day we arrived.

Some pockets of water still remained from last Monday's rain.




Walking toward Ajo Peak.


Here's a few more pictures in and around the Wellhead site.

After 7 days in the Wellhead site and a predicted 4 days of rain and cloudy skies (limited solar power), we moved to Shadow Ridge RV resort in Ajo to wait it out.



Coming next, Back to the desert.
