Subject:AZ to Ocean

A few people wrote me asking how I get from SE Arizona to the ocean in 4
hours or so, so here's how I do it.

You go west out of Tucson, toward Ajo, but turn south before you get to
Ajo.  You cross the Mexican border at Lukeville, in the Organ Pipe National
Monument.  The Organ Pipe National Monument is about 50 as-the-crow-flies
miles (about 70 by road) from the Gulf of California, which has salt water
and everything. :-)  You end up in Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco), which is a
pretty neat place.

From where I live, it's a bit over an hour to Tucson, a bit under two to
the Mexican border, and an hour from there to Rocky Point.  If you get held
up at the border because it's crowded (lots of people from around here make
that a weekend destination) that could add a few minutes.
