South of Tucson is St. RT. 86, which I have driven several time to ride Kitt Peak but never been farther west then that. We cruise past the mountain with one of its observatories visible. Eventually…..
….we enter of town of “Why”. I kid you not, it’s real name. A stop at “Why Not” market to fill the gas tank is mandatory prior to heading south. We drive through Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument and soon…..
….reach the border. Lot of traffic going north, after a long weekend but little going south so we didn’t have to wait long. The conditions on the other side of the border are definitely “third world”. Been there, done that in places like Indonesia so I have a pretty good idea what qualifies.
Wow, very windy as we make the 45 minute drive to…..
…..Puerto Penasco, better known as Rocky Point. It’s on the coast of the Sea of Cortez.
OK, nice place as we settled in at a resort.
We walked about 1/2 a mile along the beach with the wind whipping sand at our faces.
Our primary reason for coming here was a whale watching excursion so the wind better relax!
