We had our own little 65th party for Eric last night. I bought him some Bose headphones to listen to music, we had a nice dinner and a little cake and all is well.
Picked up fuel and the last of the groceries before we cross the border and head onward into Mexico tomorrow. I’m always talking about grocery stores but I must say that the Olsen’s IGA in Ajo is a good one. Lots of selection, good prices and good service which is amazing for such a small town. Always a pleasure to shop there.
We are parked in the Hickiwan RV park on the road to Tucson just out of Why, AZ and it is a nice stop. Not very well run as when I went to have a shower tonight there was no hot water. Last spring the pump wasn’t working to actually pump the water but oh well, just another little irritation. We showered in the rig so we are clean for a day or two.
Talked to a guy from Merrit, B.C. parked next to us and they used to go down to Puerto Penasco (a.k.a. Rocky Point) Mexico which is only about 60 miles from the border but they don’t go anymore. They are worried about the drug cartels even there. Probably not an issue, but each to their own. He said it used to be a big holiday week-end destination for the Americans but now not so much which may be a worry about safety or perhaps just the American economy.
We will stay at Edgar and Anna’s park tomorrow night in Santa Ana and then on to Guaymas the next day. We will stay at the old hotel Playa de Cortes which has an RV park as well. A quiet stop.
