Still no picture of John and I in uniform! I can show the visitor center. Today we traveled roundtrip 190 long desert miles on AZ 85 and 86 to the heart of the reservation, Sells, AZ. There is a very nice place in Sells that has excellent lunch fare, native style. We both enjoyed lunch. The salsa was fantastic in the prickly pear cactus chicken wrap plate and John had a bean soup with a corn/chili muffin. He never eats beans or chilis but he did and it was great. After a full meal we found the museum and cultural center of the Tohono O'odham Nation. It is a very modern building in the center of nowhere. There was a free museum and other buildings. Great find!!! We shopped in the reservation food store which I found to be quite good. We can now wait until after Thanksgiving to shop in civilization. After traveling back onto ORPI land we went 3 miles offroad on a washed gravel road to the start of Alamo Canyon hiking trailhead and campground, a primitive 4 spot campground. It is very beautiful and pictures just cannot capture the beauty. I can see why people use these sites. It is only for tents and has no water and only one modern out house but the view!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will be hiking this great trail to old ranch ruins in the canyon soon.
