Walk-a-About in Ajo or Journey Back In Time

On Feb 2th, we headed to the little town of Ajo, Arizona. We learned that during this time in this town, there is a Fiddling Convention. This is the 40th year of the convention and the 13th year at the Ajo Country Club.

Sharon, Sven, Susan & myself had heard about and after much discussion (oh about 1 minute) we decided this would be a fun place to head to and check it out.

Sharon & Sven left early Friday morning, while Susan & I headed to Los Algodones Mx. This was our annul trek for dental work, Susan could finish up her inlayes /crowns & me for cleaning. This was a in and out trip, no buying drugs or alcohol this time.

We left the Novion’s digs around 12:30 ish, and header to Ajo. Susan was at the wheel first and we switch drivers around mid-way, where I brought us into the Country Club.

Rv parking $5.00 a day (dry-camping), entry fee to each event $5.00 per event. Watching and listening – Price-less.

Friday afternoon and night was spend trying out the fish dinner served by volunteers at the CC and the dance and listening to the fiddling music.

We spend Saturday morning walking around Ajo town square, during the morning market, enjoying homemade burritos, and seeing the different artists in the square. We also picked up a pamphlet about a walking tour of Ajo. We learned about the town, history, and homes. We also learned about the Mexican and Indian side of town. Even though the Mine Company tried to destroyed the area and hide it. The community came together to bring it back into the public light.

When we arrived back, Dakota & I spent a little time on a Walk-a-About in the country club area:

But then it was time to return to the main event, where there were many categories; Adult, Senior, Senior Senior, Young Adult, Child & Junior.

Fun was had by all, watching and listening as everyone that came on stage, received many awards from the crowd. Sunday came and it was time to leave and head back to where it all began. Us to Casa Grande and Sven, Sharon to Yuma. We made our goodbyes and each Rig headed out.

We don’t know when we will see each other, but we have enjoyed our time together.

So, I leave you with this short video
