Awake: 5:31am Temp 53 Cloudy Overnight@ San Diego, CA
Our bus easily eases out of our parking site, the car is hooked behind,
transmission checked, then lights on both vehicles checked & we leave
Campland on the Bay @ 6:58am. Our timing was good for missing the heavy
commuter traffic of the city. In 30 min, we were far enough East on I-8
that there was little traffic to contend with.
We make 2 stops today: Just 8 miles from Yuma, AZ, we exited the
interstate, drove south for maybe 1.5 miles, pulled onto a gravel area &
parked our bus.....then drove the tow car for another 2 miles to Alagones,
Mexico. A 5 min walk across the border where Kathy stocks up on some
medicine for future use. Our 2nd stop was for fuel @ Eloy, AZ @ Flying
“J.” Smooth roads today & a mild North X-wind with a clear blue sky in AZ
made for a pleasant day's drive.
Today’s travel: 8+00 hrs 459 miles 62.5 gal used 7.34 mpg 58.4 avg
speed.
Arrive @ the Butterfield RV Resort@ 5:38pm in Benson, AZ. It seems like
late evening but it’s not yet 6:00pm. I think it’s because it’s so dark. I
invite Kathy to eat@ the nearby Italian restaurant so she wouldn’t have to
cook & I wouldn’t have to do dishes.
7:30 Dinner: Italian hamburgers with salad & chips. The restaurant
Galleano’s is family owned & operated. Our hamburgers were very good.
Walking back to the campground, the stars are exceptionaly bright. Would
you believe, this campground advertises that it is the only one in the
states to have a 19 inch telescope and its own observatory on the
premises. We pass up the opportunity to check it out this time….only
because we are a little tired.
Call Katrina…leave msg. Call Nick….no answer.
