What a heavenly place Ajo, Arizona is

I happened upon Ajo after a couple trips photographing the city of Phoenix for calendar publisher I work with. Weary of being surrounded by 4,000,000 people, I'd slip away to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument to regain a sense of peace and tranquility.
In March of 2005, on my way back to my California office job, I got "lost" trying to take a short cut around Ajo and got stuck in a residential area of Ajo and wound up looking at all the charming spanish mission styled little homes and got wondering how much they cost. Long story made short, I bought one in August 2005 for just $56,000 and have had the greatest fun doing a light remodeling of it.
Now I have a place in teh sun to look forward to that didnt have to make me loose sleep at night. I am actually renting it for $250 per month MORE than the 15 year monthly note on the place. can't do that in California. Thank you, Ajo!!!
