Moved Closer to Picacho, Arizona

We moved this morning from Deming, New Mexico to Benson, Arizona.  We have stayed in this town a number of times, like the area, and decided to visit a different RV park this time - we are at Cochise Terrace RV Park.  Sitting up above the town, very quiet, and this is a 55+ park with park models and set up similar to what we stay at in Picacho.  We are here for 2 nights, will get back to our winter home this Wednesday.

We want to clean the RV really well, sanitize the fresh water tank and clean out the black and gray water tanks before we get back.  We will use tomorrow to go through all the stuff we accumulated this summer and pack up as much as we can, will make our unloading at 'home' much more easier to have a lot of the things staged.

We left Deming this morning and it looked like a mass exodus from our campground.  Everyone we talked to were heading to Yuma or Mesa Arizona for the winter and they were holding still like us to make sure the weather was good.  After Hurricane Patricia came through Mexico, we got high winds from it afterward.  Just as well we sat still.

Bye bye Escapee campground and Deming

Weird to see - mountains WAY off in the distance 

You can always spot the FAA's Lorans

Mountains right before Benson - I think they are 'messy' looking 

We always pass the ghost town of Stein

The ride is quite boring traveling along Interstate 10.  Have driven along this road a number of times now and it is boring.  Got excited as we crossed into Arizona, began to feel like we were almost home.

Just like snow storms, have to learn how to drive in dust storms
all over again

To experience a dust storm is life altering.  Very scary!!

I will update the blog one more time after we get back, summarizing the summer's travels.  Sad to see our summer adventure end but glad we are getting off the road.
