Population: 1

I was very surprised as I drove along Darby Well Road south of Ajo, Arizona. The last time I was here there were dozens of boondockers. Today? Zero. Just me. Excellent. I had my pick of camping spots. I chose a place tucked up against the hills, next to a wash, among cacti and mesquite, near where Scenic Loop Road slips into a narrow canyon.

It's quiet, the ocotillos are in full bloom, and there's a strong cell signal. Sweet.

  3. Maybe we picked the wrong spot, but when we were there in early 2015 there was zero Verizon signal. Are you using AT&T or did Verizon do some work out there?
    BTW gorgeous spot. Someday we'll get back there again.

    1. I lucked out. I can see the top of the cell tower peeking over the hill.
