Tucson to Benson, AZ

31.2 miles (WOW!)
Sunny and Windy!


Finally, I’m “on the road again”!!!

Had a lazy start this morning. Packing up after being planted for 7 months makes for a lot of things to put away! That, plus I wanted to make a short trip to get back in the rhythm of driving a big box, and to break Misha in gently!

I was reminded, sadly, of how bloody awful a road I-10 is. A major interstate and it’s bumpy and pot-holed and just plain worn out! Arizona should be ashamed!

Beyond that, I was pleasantly surprised at how green the countryside is. I knew I’d seen a lot of rain, but obviously this was a terrific monsoon season! The grass is deep and green – well, green by Arizona desert standards!

Stopped at a place I’ve read about recently – Butterfield RV Resort. Didn’t think much of the place – a big paved parking lot. Not much personality. Clean and tidy, blacktop. Oh well – they can’t all be special. 


Hooked up and hunkered down and held on – a wild windy thunderstorm dumped buckets of rain shortly after we arrived. And when I had checked the weather in the morning, there wasn’t a hint of rain for at least 10 days out. As usual, the weatherman knows not of what he speaks!
