176 miles from Yuma

Just a quick note to say "We made it".  We're staying in the Twin Peaks campground at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.  Our cell reception is marginal at best, as we bounce between towers in Lukeville, AZ and the towns of Sonoyta and Puerto Penasco, Mexico.  Lukeville is the border point of entry, and Sonoyla is a few miles south.  I don't know how Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point) gets into the mix, because it's 80 miles south on the Sea of Cortez.  I'm glad we told ATT where we are, or the roaming charges would kill us.  ATT will erase any international roaming for us for the length of our stay.

The campground here is very large and spacious.  Every space has a concrete pad for the rv, and a small concrete patio with a picnic table and metal grill.  Unfortunately, no fire rings, probably due to the fact that the wind appears to blow about 15 mph all the time. The spaces are separated by a wide area of cactus and various desert plants. We hope to go to the Visitors Center tomorrow, and do some hiking. Donna wants to drive to Lukeville to look at the border crossing while we're here, but I don't know quite why.....Oh, but wait, "Why" is the little town we drove through getting here this afternoon. An intersection, and two rv parks....why would anyone live out here?

Gotta go now, it's early to bed and early to rise!  Not our style at all, but the rules here only allow generator usage between 8 and 10 am, and then between 4 and 6 pm, and we don't want to miss our time slot!  We'll see if those rules are "bent" this coming Super Bowl Sunday!
