April in southern Arizona

last light Organ pipe cactus ORPI NM AZ

The last blog post was April 24th as I prepared to leave Old Fogey Hot Spring in southern Arizona then continued further south to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.  How can that be as I roll through early June while writing this post?   I am reminded by Sue that blogging has fallen by the wayside for many.  And to be fair I am sharing my stories on YouTube now at  https://www.youtube.com/@geogypsytraveler/.  Yea, I know, not everybody does YouTube, however there will be many links to videos I’ve posted since the last blog post.  Just sayin’.  If you like what you see please subscribe to the channel.  You can check out ideas about summer travel plans and monetization here.

RV cg ORPI NM AZI continued into southern Arizona most specifically to attend a Ranger wedding where they met years ago while working at Organ Pipe Cactus.  It was a three day affair that included the solar eclipse, and I camped in the park’s campground.

desert late light Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZ

desert sunset Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZBut before that I spent a few days boondocking south of Ajo near a favorite BLM site along the Darby Well Road.

Plaza Ajo AZThen before heading to Organ Pipe went into Ajo for groceries, laundry, and a visit to the Plaza where I bought myself a few pieces of jewelry.

I’m really not collecting again after the fire, but if I see a piece I love that fits, well it becomes mine.

Most of the wedding party were, or still are, Park Rangers from all over North America, so of course we got along fabulously.

One day we carpooled on the Ajo Mt loop drive making stops along the way.

Took four hours for the 21 mile drive.  That’s naturalists for you.

Ramsey & Chelsea hands ORPI NM AZThe next day, before the wedding ceremony, we shared food at the group camp area while safely watching 75% of the solar eclipse.

I set up camera on tripod and shot about every 5-10 minutes then eventually put together a composite.

After the wedding activities I returned to Darby Well Road for about a week of camping and learning how to make the eclipse composite while enjoying the southern Arizona Sonoran desert outside my door.

I love that new camp location even better, if that’s possible, because of less traffic and people, and more dense Sonoran desert vegetation.

Yes, there are a lot of photos here.  But there’s even more good ones laced into the linked videos.  I believe some of these will be contenders for the Geogypsy 2025 calendar.  Have any favorites?

Sonoran Desert birds, bunny, and blooms

Mockingbird on Ocotillo desert Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZSeems I spend a lot of time watching Sonoran Desert birds, occasionally I see a rabbit, and there’s still some flowers blooming in the ever increasing temperatures at the end of March.

Saguaro desert Black Mt Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZAfter a week boondocking in the Sonoran Desert I had to go to town for fresh fruit.  Took advantage of a strong enough signal in Ajo to load a video about my drive from Owl to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.  Yes, I’m weeks behind real time on the YouTube channel and here on the blog.  I returned to the same camp, because I like it.

Jackrabbit Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZJackrabbit Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZ

One morning, motion caught my eye as a giant Jackrabbit, not a bunny really, bounded past camp.  Easter early but no eggs left behind.

cactus sunset clouds Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZJust a beautiful sunset.

Flicker bird Palo Verde tree Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZMotion usually means Sonoran Desert birds, like a Flicker hiding in a Palo Verde tree.

Roadrunner bird with lizard Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZOr a Roadrunner catching a lizard.

purple Phacelia flowers Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZThe desert floor was heavily carpeted with purple Phacelia, also known as Scorpion Weed it’s prickly fuzz causes an itchy irritation to the skin.

desert Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZSeems most plants in the Sonoran Desert have a bite.  Some of the critters too but I’ve not seen any snakes or scorpions, yet.

Mockingbird creosote bush Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZSeems the Sonoran Desert birds mostly bite bugs so I’m safe, at least from the Mockingbird.

Turkey Vulture bird soaring Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZAnd unless it’s something dead the Turkey Vulture won’t bite.

I went for short walks that lasted several hours watching out for cactus that bite if you get too close and keeping an eye out for Sonoran Desert birds.

The Saguaros are captivating in their various shapes.

red Ocotillo flowers Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZ

red fruit Ocotillo Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZThe Ocotillo flowers and fruit also bring in Sonoran Desert birds.

Blackthroated Sparrow bird Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZThe black-throated Sparrow was a new Sonoran desert bird for me to see.

desert mts clouds Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZGood thing I went out the previous day, as Tuesday was cloudy and in my mind at only 66° cold with high winds including 40mph gusts.

desert light mts clouds Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZMany RV neighbors left.  I’d rather be parked in high winds than driving.  Gave me time to work on writing and processing photos for the last blog post.

desert mts sunset clouds Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZPlus, even though I didn’t get outside, I sure saw a lot of pretty right through my windows, including sunset.

trail-cam coyote Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZThe crazy wind set off the trail-cam all day and night with moving flowers and trees.  But it also caught a coyote after dark.

The following day was clear with no wind and 65° suddenly felt warm enough to sit outside in the sun enjoying my desert views.  Must have been calm enough for the Sonoran Desert birds too.

I checked the trail-cam in the morning and discovered coyote had been by again, several times over the night.

Saturday I had company.  Paul Gill, well-known Arizona Highways photographer, was on this way to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument to shoot cristate cactus and blooms.  We took a short walk but mostly sat in camp comparing notes and catching up.

Paul left before sunrise and I wasn’t too far behind on my way northward to Owl for the night and beyond to a water site the next day.

Struggling to catch up, almost a month behind, and am now four places past this location.  Hard to keep up when there’s so much cool going on.

Sonoran Desert boondocking south of Ajo AZ

desert Ajo Mts reverse sunset clouds Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZSonoran Desert boondocking during Spring means birdwatching and walks among the cactus and flowers plus expansive and colorful sunset skies.  And even a few sunrises.

desert leaving cg clouds ORPI NM AZAfter a couple days visiting Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Richard and I enjoyed a delicious breakfast at Granny’s in Why.  He hit the road about 11am and after coming out of my parked camper I thought Paul and Gary’s campers were in the lot so I went back into the restaurant, walked up to a table and said, “you folks really have to stop following me.” Before realizing they weren’t people I know. Oops.  They laughed along with me, or maybe at me.

Saguaro desert mt Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZA real surprise waking up in time for sunrise and early light on the western mountains.

Saguaro desert light Ajo Mts Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZThen I spent most of the day taking care of housekeeping, on the computer because I rarely do housework.  The hard drive was almost full, lots of photos, so I had to back these up on external drives to clear space for more.

Saguaro desert Black Mt Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZThe next morning my phone switched to daylight savings.  What the hell, we don’t do that in Arizona, especially when Sonoran Desert boondocking.  Took me a while to fix it.

trail-cam coyoteThen I checked the trail-cam, and sure enough a coyote came through the previous night.  I put out a pan of water and they must sniff it out.

Chiliquilies breakfastAfter that delicious breakfast at Granny’s, I was inspired to make one-pan Chilaquiles for breakfast.  Even took video of the process that may eventually make it to my YouTube channel.  Turned out real tasty.

Spent the rest of the day writing the last blog post and watching birds through the windows from my truckcamper birdhide while Sonoran Desert boondocking.

But I do see a lot of birds during the day, especially when I get out for a walk.

first light desert Black Mt moon clouds Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZOther than a short walk around camp I again worked on a video.  I like the challenge of making videos but it does take a lot of time to edit which cuts into my outside play time and reading.  Plus I need a strong signal to load the finished video onto YouTube.  I’m really not complaining, just stating a fact.

trail-cam coyoteOnce more the trail-cam caught coyote overnight, along with a spiderweb.  Time to clean the lens.

That’s OK, because it had to be packed away for my trip to town.  I was almost out of cream for coffee and had no fresh fruit.

lunch Tacos el Tarasco Ajo AZPlus I figured to treat myself to lunch at Tacos el Tarasco with green sauce for St. Patrick’s Day. Seems an extra treat because town is only about 20 minutes away.  And while in town I had enough signal to load the next video of my drive from Owl to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.  Yes, I am weeks behind posting both video and blog posts.   This all happened between March 10th to 17th.

Gaelyn & Sierra selfies in camper Darby Well Rd BLM Ajo AZOnce back in camp Sierra waited her turn to get online.  Then we settled in for another week of Sonoran Desert boondocking.

I will make a trail-cam coyote video soon, so watch for it on my Youtube channel.  What, not subscribed yet?  Why not?

How would you feel about listening to my story along with photos and video, instead of reading?

Hi, I’m Gaelyn, the Geogypsy

I retired after 29 summer seasons as a Park Ranger, traveling solo for 40+ years. My passions include travel, connecting to nature, photography, and sharing stories.

I started exploring US National Parks in 1977 and 20 years later became a seasonal Park Ranger.  I’ve lived full-time in a RV for 30 years working summers and playing winters.  I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow old, other than grow up.

Let’s share our stories.  Here’s more of mine…

I am currently…
