During some previous stops we have made in Huachuca City and Sierra Vista, we have driven south down AZ-90 to Turkey Trail Rd. Turning off the pavement, we wandered a few miles to the Ash Canyon Inn which is touted as a B&B but, more importantly, has various types of bird feeders and impaled fruit in the backyard trees.
Between the feeders was a constantly changing constellation of colorful birds happily gorging themselves on the abundant free food right in front of a nearby human audience. There must have been a dozen or more species sidled up to the buffet, most of them with gorgeous plumage. We saw not less than five types of woodpeckers alone. We hung out for quite a while.
We also stopped at Home Depot for screws to tighten up one of the corners on the Barbarian Invader and some rattlecan glossy white so Peggy can make our trailer’s entry handrail sticky. We also went to a Mexican food place called Rudolfo’s for tamales. They were tasty and a plate with two tamales, rice and beans was around $7.50. Their seating is uncomfortable prefabricated McDonald’s type, miserable for porkers like me so I recommend eating in the car.
