Here we are camped out in Benson, Arizona just outside of Tuson. We really enjoyed Las Cruces. We went to the downtown to their farmer's market. I was a little disappointed... I thought there would be more. Apparently Saturdays are bigger and busier. However, I did find a great quilter's shop. unfortunately I couldn't find what I wanted. In the afternoon we went to the old part of the city that was a square with shops and resaurants. I even got to do some shopping but I missed my girl buds!
We left earlier than usual.... I think it's the time changes we've gone through. The terrain started off flat with mountains in the distance but as we got closer to Arizona it started to get rockier and steeper.
We did get to see an unusual sight... about 70 hot cameros pulled into a rest stop! What a sight! All colours and all decked out. They were heading for a car rally outside of Tuson.
It has been quite windy the last couple of days. Today so much that we ended up in the camper. it was even starting to bother Daisy! But the sun keeps shining and the temperature is in the low to mid 80's! One thing we did see that we couldn't figure out though .... were all these dead palm trees! We were talking to one of the shop owners (they even let Daisy in their shop) and they told us of that cold snap in Febuary that went through the southern states. The frost killed thousands of them they told us even a lot of the cacti.
Tomorrow we are going to check out Tombstone and some other sights around here. So we may be here for a couple of days or so.
