One of the fun things about driving out West is seeing the way various cities decorate their 
over and underpasses.
I stayed at Quartzite for a few days with friends, this is all boon docking on BLM land, free but no amenities. It was cloudy, cold, windy and often rained, not exactly what you picture the desert to be. This particular week at Quartzite is a huge RV show, with 
literally hundreds of vendors all around town selling everything imaginable. On the BLM land you will see every type, make, age of rv, trailer or camping rig.
From Quartzite I headed down to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. This is right on the border with Mexico. The saguaro, organ pipe and other cactus abound and the Ajo mountains make a nice background for some images. The campground here is very nice, with good sized paved sites, plenty of bathrooms and spigots for water. No hookups, of course, but with the solar I can do quite nicely.

We signed up for two nights there last year, extended to five, and actually stayed seven. Loved the area. Sign up for some of the ranger led tours. Ajo is also a very photogenic town with an interesting history.
Thanks for the info, Jerry. I remember Wanda spoke highly of the place. A jo is very interesting. I’m due to leave tomorrow but may be back. This is a place I’d like to be in the spring for the cactus blooming.
I really liked the night shots and the landscape with the arch(s) and cactus…..thanks for sharing…Safe Travels…Horst sends
Thanks, Horst. Will be on the road again tomorrow. It’s finally warmed up a bit here.
Enjoy reading your blog and viewing your photos, Jean!
