Charlie Bell Road

Taken from the end of the road at Charlie Bell Pass. This was the 2mph section. Childs Mt is in the distance on the left.

Charlie Bell Rd

This is the better part of the road where we may have gotten up to 15 mph on occasion.

The Ajo Copper News Building

The whole front of the newspaper building was painted with this impressive mural.

Saguaro National Park

From the Loma Verde Loop trail.
