road trip….day two

The Guest House Inn in Ajo turned out to be our favorite lodging of the week. We highly recommend it.
Historic and charming but it was breakfast that we’ll never forget! Mike is an excellent cook.

omlet, sweet sausage, avocado and a yummy scone!

On the way out of town, we stop for a daytime shot of the Ajo Mission. I shot in infrared.

Next stop is Organ Pipe National Monument. We find that over one third has been closed down because of border crossing issues. We decide to drive the Ajo Mountain Loop and stop for a short hike. Along the way, we spot several Strawberry Hedgehog Cactus in bloom.

The most spectacular organ pipe cactus are closer to the border, unfortunately, so we didn’t see many.
