Ajo Arizona
I hopped out of bed this morning, ready for anything, including the two-hour drive to Ajo, Arizona. I left about 8:30 and pulled into the old rodeo grounds in Ajo, where the boondocking is free, a couple of hours later. I was surprised to find hardly anyone here; in fact, the main part of the old rodeo campground was totally empty, with four other RVers scattered around away from the old campground, which is usually where most RVers stay.
At my current location in Ajo, the temperature reached the low 90s, which is quite hot for a boondocker without air conditioning. However, this high temperature was mitigated by the almost negligible humidity in the area. Once the moisture level drops into the single digits, it doesn't matter if it's 9% or 0%; it's still dry as a bone, and if you're in the shade, it's cool.
So what does that mean in real life? Once, when I was at Picacho State Park in Arizona, and the humidity was in the single digits, I took a shower in the state Park restrooms and forgot to bring a towel. So, I had to put on my clothes while I was still wet and walk about 200 yards back to the camper. And when I got back to the camper, I was dry, my clothes were dry, and even my wash-rag was dry. It was as if I'd never been in the shower.
I've been checking the Internet for the latest Arizona flower predictions, and so far, it's not looking too good. It’s been very dry this winter, and although we've had some rain lately, it hasn't been nearly enough to meet even normal expectations for the flowers. So it appears that there's little to no hope for a Super Bloom this year, and perhaps not even a normal bloom.

Once again, I’ve been spotted by the passenger.
The long walk out to the target butts.
They appear to be just practicing…. At least I hope they’re just practicing because I could throw rocks more accurately than this.
Since it was an international event, I heard many different languages.
As I mentioned before, they used some of the thinnest arrow shafts I’ve ever seen.
