St. David, Arizona to Silver City, New Mexico

162.1 miles

Sunshine and blue skies!

Left the lovely St. David park for a nice easy drive thru the wide open spaces of the West – rolling hills, grass, scrub mesquite, lots of yucca in full flower. Lovely day.

Surprised Sooz with the sudden change in the countryside at the Dragoon Mountains.

The great big rocks piled one on town of the other. A very powerful eruption in the middle of nowhere, and then just as suddenly, it’s gone!

Lots of mines in this neck of the woods - this one, the Tyrone Mine is just south of town.

Arrived at the Silver City RV Park in the heart of the city. Nice park run by a delightful gal named Gloria, who went out of her way to help us when we found we had a propane leak. There is no such thing as a mobile mechanic here, so she called a friend of the family who runs a propane business. He came right out and solved our problem.

No satellite signal here either, but at least the local TV stations came in clear enough for us to enjoy “Dancing With The Stars”!!
