We've spent the last six weeks seeing New Mexico and we can say we really do like this state. We can see ourselves settling down here when we decide we no longer want to live on the road. Of course we haven't seen Arizona yet......
We packed up and were road ready by ten. After a stop for fuel and ice and we made our way to I-10. We don't normally use the interstate highways but since our winter destination isn't that far we decided to make it the shortest trip possible. We have a 325 mile trip in front of us and we'll make it in two days. Yes, we could drive straight through but we have a self imposed rule of no more than 200 miles a day if we can help it. Who wants to arrive rumpled and tired?
Before we got out of New Mexico we saw these signs. We're glad this wasn't something we had to deal with.
We passed little ghost town on the way. There must be an RV'er there exploring.
It didn't take us long before we saw this sign. 
We stopped at a rest stop just after crossing into Arizona and my first thought was, "This is my kinda state!" For those of you who know me will understand this picture below.
While at this rest stop we couldn't help but notice the rocks. You just can't imagine how big these are, I can assure you the picture doesn't do it justice.
We got back on the road for the final leg of today's journey and soon came to an over pass. Like New Mexico, Arizona doesn't let these go unadorned.
We made it as far as Benson, Arizona and decided to call it a day. We pulled into a very nice RV park but didn't even bother unhooking the truck since we would be leaving in the morning. We did take a ride around the park on our bikes and noticed that one half of the park was double wide mobile homes, some park model RV's and then coaches and 5th wheels that have come in for the winter. This park is very well kept and we're hoping where we're headed is just as nice.
After dinner we watched some TV and turned in early so that we can get an early start tomorrow.
