    Copper open pit. When the company shutdown the mine operations the entire town went down with it. Now it seems to be trying as place for artists. The huge old school you drove by is converted into artists apts. Every Saturday morning in season there are arts/crafts vendors selling their creations in the plaza.
    Thanks for stopping by my camp and it was great meeting you and Linda. Greg

    My great-grandfather was diagnosed with TB and moved his small family from Illinois to Ajo circa 1914 and opened up a barbershop in Roewood. Ajo, Spanish for garlic, was 3 distinct communities then: Roewood, ‘Mexican town’, and ‘Indian town’. My Anglo mother grew up speaking Spanish with her Mexican friends.

    There is a campground called Coyote Howls in and near Why that is an interesting location. for $635.00 a year you can have your own "permanent" RV site. I know it's not your style but for someone who is houseless it could be pretty useful.

    The mining company in Ajo was Phelps Dodge Company and Ajo was where all it's workers lived. The "company store," which is now closed, would supply just about everything they need and, I was told, would let them charge purchases against their future paychecks. It looks very much like I remember it even though I haven't been back there since I camped in Why in '78 and '79. If I were to ever get to go our West again, I would be heading there for sure. There's nothing like the Sonoran desert for peaceful and quiet times.

    I love the woods cause I was raised in the rural country of Michigan. A few nights ago a bear came wondering into our central Michigan yard. Our trash was empty so he batted around our trash can. The he ambled behind our car and started coming up to our house, down a path between our flower gardens and stopped 8 feet right in front of my large bedroom window! I watched him from the safety of my bedroom where he had to stop by the wattle fence and decide which way to go, right or left. So, beautiful to watch and yet so close! I love living here in rural Harrison, Michigan. That is what I like to do. I love to hike through the woods here in the National Forests as you are never more than 5 miles from ANY body of water. You'll have to visit rural upstate Michigan in our lower and upper peninsula of Michigan. Come visit! See Big Spring (Kitch-iti-kipi) and tahquamenon-falls-state-park! Beautiful in the spring. I like trees and you'll see a lot of logging trucks here.

    Another interesting episode! You mentioned hunting in Hawaii. During WWII when my day was transferred to a Combat Military Police company, he trained with Honolulu PD for some duties. One leave he and friends went to one of the islands on a small Navy boat to hunt goats. I guess feral. He said he shot one with his Garand from one hill top to another, 800 or so yards, “the luckiest shot I ever made” is what he said. He mentioned Molokai during our conversations but I can’t remember if that was it. Thanks for another good one!

    I was stationed at Gila Bend AFAF (now called Barry Goldwater Gunnery Range) over 40 years ago. It was a dramatic change for an 18 year old in the US Air Force, coming from the Florida panhandle. I remember Ajo as a pleasant town to visit. This makes me want to revisit the region. Beautiful country but, hot as the dickens in summer. Great video log!

    Yaaaaay! I’m so excited you got to stay back on Darby Wells rd! It’s my favorite place to boondocks due to the peace and quiet and convenience of town. The mine was a copper mine, closed in early 80’s. I loved exploring the camp area and around town. I love Ajo too! I was able to stay 2 weeks and I know of others who stayed longer....no patrols checking on campers at the time. Thanks for bringing back the memories! I also love the mixed culture of the area, Tohono(?) Indian, Mexican and American all intermixed in this town. I can’t wait to go back!

    All the times I've been to deserts I was hunting. North America - Javelina, bear, deer, elk, antelope. Africa - eland, gemsbok, springbok, hartebeest, steenbok, and others. And, you are right about looking for game. Look for pieces. An eye, ear, slight movement, horizontal line. Things that are different. After a while it becomes automatic. I was much better at it when I was younger. Of course, 20/10 vision didn't hurt me.

    NE WA state real close to the boarder of BC , i like to search out and film old ghost towns /boom towns /gold towns , desert like area a lot of it and very hot in the summer months 102*-108* i have been in but it's pretty barren some areas as far as a person can see .. Where you are located really looks appears to have much more variety for foliage and other features and i can see where it would be a place to visit sometime ...Great video.. good job..
