We awoke to a cold breeze and had a short drive of roughly 170 miles today from Deming, New Mexico to Benson, Arizona. We left Walmart in Deming and headed west on I-10 with a plan to stop at Flying J in Lordsburg, NM for a shower and breakfast at Denny's. The Denny's had Christmas music playing in the background and the wind had really kicked up by mid-morning. This stretch of I-10 has posted signs indicating to use extreme caution due to potential dust storms which can restrict visibility to zero percent.
A sign above warned "Caution - Storm. High winds and rain. Drive with care." It had rained on us off and on, but we fought the wind mostly. Our next stop was lunch at the rest area about 10 miles east of Benson, which is surrounded by some beautiful rock formations. As we approached Benson, I began to hear the rattling of the front air conditioner George had worked on just yesterday.
Once again, we drove past the far too frequent billboards advertising "The Thing?". I have often wondered what "the thing" could possibly be. But my curiosity is outweighed by my gut feeling I'm going to be disappointed to find it's some kind of hoax or something less incredible.
Don and Sharon Del Rosario greeted us in the rain upon our arrival at Cochise Terrace RV Park. Sharon is the RV Driving School's first female instructor. We so enjoy their company! George went back onto the roof to assess the a/c cover situation. We enjoyed a gorgeous view from their friend's site followed by an interesting sunset. The evening ended with a great dinner at Pablo's in town.
We are hopeful the storms will pass over the course of the evening as we have plans to arrive at Meridian RV Resort in Apache Junction tomorrow. We look forward to catching up with friends and taking a needed break for the next couple of months. The dogs will surely be happy to get on their regular play and rest schedule. We'll look forward to seeing Don and Sharon again!
And maybe -- just maybe, curiosity will prevail and we'll stop next time we pass this way and check out "The Thing?".
Nice Article and Nice photo ! ! ! Thanks for share it. Billboard ads, also known as marketing hoardings, are a great way to achieve a broader variety of new clients, especially if they come in primary visitors places that see over a number of million vehicles successfully pass every day.
