Saturday February 25th
So, after a discussion of how the trip was going and what we wanted to do, we decided to head for Phoenix area instead of Tucson since we will be going there to meet Terye on the 7th of March. So it was a much longer drive than I had anticipated. Winds laid down today, which was very nice for driving and it was a delightful sunny day to be driving across NM. Stopped for lunch and gas in Lordsburg and bought Cathey a “truckers’ blue tooth headset.” She has a hard time having people understand her when she is talking on the iphone in the Suburban; I don’t think that the Suburban is exceptionally noisy but I hope this thing helps.
Then off through AZ; doesn’t look as though anything is blooming yet but you can see buds on a lot of the cacti getting ready to bloom.
We stopped at Cathey’s favorite rest stop along I-10 E of Tucson. The area is very rocky with gigantic boulders all over and looks like the set of a western movie.
I was sad to by pass Tucson but we will be back and I will be able to go to our favorite deli that has outside seating. I can’t remember the name of it but quite sure I can still find it. It is in the foothills on the N side of town and looks out over the rest of Tucson.
We didn’t pull into the KOA of Apache Junction until after 8pm. They helped us get the trailer backed into our site and then we had a light supper and hit the hay. New places to explore tomorrow!
