AMP: 134
Location: SR 86 and SR 386, Pima Cty
Reassurance shield after the SR 386 junction as we make the really long trek to the next junction at SR 85

AMP: 113
Location: SR 86 and Main Rd, Sells

Follow Indian 15 towards Santa Rosa and Casa Grande. The road is paved and even sometimes has border patrol checkpoints, from what I gather. Stay on 86 for Ajo

AMP: 70
Location: SR 86 and San Simon Rd, Pima Cty
A few miles later, we’ll pass another not-even unincorporated community that calls itself San Simon, which probably isn’t official because there is already a San Simon in SE Arizona, off I-10 just west of the New Mexico line

Reassurance shield after unsigned Indian 34
AMP: 53
Location: SR 86 and SR 85, Pima Cty
A few miles later, we’ll hit SR 85. SR 85 north through Ajo used to be SR 86, which is why the mileposts are wonky here. We’re 53 miles from the I-8 Business Loop in Gila Bend, which used to be US-80

Location: SR 86 and SR 85, Pima Cty
Turn right for 85 North and left for 85 South
