After breakfast, I took the kids for a bike ride. B had to repair her third flat since arriving here:

We rode our bikes out to the Obregon pit mine:

We passed this mining structure on the way back:


We hitched up, drove over to the border, and walked into Mexico to pick up Tricia’s glasses:

While waiting in line to return to the US, we saw two people climb the fence and enter the US illegally.
Continuing east, we crossed into Arizona:

We also stopped for diesel and propane. During our grocery stop at Walmart, we saw this PPC fly by:

We continued on to overnight on abandoned land next to the Ak-Chin airport near Maricopa, Arizona, where I hope to fly for a couple days.
