Princess Margaret is Ready to Move



We arrived in Ajo yesterday afternoon and remembered why we enjoyed it last time. Just think of an old western movie with the elders of the town sitting on the front step of the local poolhall spitting "chew" and you have found Ajo.

The town boasts many gas stations [95% shut down], many junk shops and only one grocery store. Surprisingly, the two RV Parks are top-notch and relatively cheap. It also is home to a unique animal called the Javelina - it is a small wild boar about the size of a big dog. We are taking bets on who was the most frightened when one of them paid us a surprise visit this evening. [Didn't think I could move that fast, did you?]

As you can see by the picture, Maggie refuses to get out of the truck - she thinks we may leave her because the javelina may be better behaved.

Thanks for the heads up about the Javelina. I would hate to see what would happen to Abbey if we met up with one if we venture to Ajo sometime in the near future. By the way, I am assuming one of you wasn't holding Maggie on her leash otherwise we would have also heard about the "drag race" at Ajo.

She actually won the race to the 5th wheel!
