East to Benson

Given the storm coming down from the north, we selected the longer southern route. We went east on I-10, cut down to I-8, continued on I-10, and stopped in Benson AZ. We knocked off around 3 because we were getting tired and gritchy.

We selected the highly rated Butterfield RV Resort, which is very well kept. The resort has an observatory, and we went over in the evening to take a look at the stars. There were some clouds, so we were only able to look at the moon and a few stars. The moon was impressive, with its deep craters and lava flows. The edge of the light on the moon makes the craters very well defined.

The storm continues, so we will probably not get home until Tuesday.
