We are finishing up a very enjoyable weeks stay in Ajo. Mike and I were here for a month 3 years ago and you can find my posts for that stay during Jan/Feb of 2013 as I am just going to add a couple of things with this stay. We will return to Ajo in the future.
I love this area, the scenery is just beautiful everywhere you look in the Sonoran Desert! Even the cristate cactus has it's own artsy twists that are fun to look at and take pics of. Here are a few that we tracked down on this stay, one may be a repeat from our last visit;)

| this saguaro was all cristate until the new arm grew normally |
In these two, only one "arm" did not form properly
And in these two, pretty much the whole cactus is cristated

| in this pic, note the nest to the far left and the Harris hawk on the saguaro to the far right, is she waiting for her mate to have their spring family! |
 |
| a beauty! |
The following pics were taken inside Gate 18 on the Barry Goldwater Range. We had not explored this area the last time we were here but are sure glad we checked it out this time!
