First trip in a new RV, day 5



We drove Route 85 south from Ajo into Organpipe National Monument and Lukeville, on the border. We walked across the border into Sonoyita but didn't see much, as most of the town is a couple of miles down the road. A U.S. customs officer told us that Lukeville is tiny enough that one person owns almost the whole town and likes to call it Gringo Pass.

We've never seen so many cactuses (cacti) as on this trip.

I love the cacti! Makes me miss all the roadtrip my family and I would take through the SW when I was a kid.

It looks awfully dry there. I get thirsty looking at the pictures. At least there's no snow. We're getting a bunch more Friday.

I love your roadtrip! I'm getting to see parts of the U.S. I've never visited before. Can't wait to see where we're going next!

I love the view! Can't wait to see more pix. Can't imagine seeing such big cacti in real life. Never been out that way.

I find your blog very interesting. My husband and I are relocating back to the states this year and are planning on doing the RV thing in a 5th wheel.
