First Two Nights Boondocking
Dateland, Arizona Last night it was a balmy 70 degrees, so we slept with all the windows open and no covers. Some rumbling semis, a couple trains and howling coyotes made for a somewhat disrupted sleep. We were up early and ready to hit the road.

The next day we took a familiar route to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, south of Ajo, Arizona. We were here in March 2018, the night before we traveled by RV caravan to Rocky Point, Mexico.
There was no one here when we arrived at the Twin Peaks Campground. Enter 24-7, pay at the kiosk and pick a site. We parked at #21 but we noted a few sites with hard awnings. Immediately we picked #29. It was really nice having a covered patio in to offer shade.
The organ pipe cactus are found only here. They’re huge, with multiple arms growing from a tight base. The do resemble pipes from old fashioned pipe organs. Saguaros and ocotillos are starting to bloom. The desert willow trees are full of pale pinkish-lavender blossoms. Even a few Palo Verde trees are starting to show their tiny yellow blooms.
Dinner was a mystery meal of leftovers I’d frozen ages ago. We didn’t ever recall eating it the first time!
Off tomorrow to visit friends who have a new home in Green Valley.
