Tell me about Ajo, Arizona
Planning on stopping in Ajo for a few days. Our expectations are: we love history and architecture, birding, hiking, mountain biking, easy to moderate 4wd roads, etc. We are not arm chair snowbirders....

On some of the trails close to the border it is advisable to inform the Border Patrol of where you are going to be traveling, that way you won't be taken for a bandido, also do not pick up any person at all, transporting illegals is a Federal offense, not even siting in the car, you can render humanitarian assistance, water and shade from the side of the vehicle.
If you encounter someone in need of help, contact CBP, or the Sheriff they have special units that help persons in distress in the deserts, that is provided there is cell phone reception in that area.
Take plenty of water and some warm clothing, it can be very cold at night, DO NOT relay on the GPS to guide you, get good topo maps.
We stay at Ajo Heights when we go that way, the Saguaro National Park is awesome, be carefull with the famous Jumping Choyas, they are nasty.
