This morning we woke up in Benson AZ after a lovely visit with Ellen and Lon, lunch at a mediocre restaurant in Benson, I’m being kind, but it had the benefit of being open, and a long time over ice cream and on our coach. Catching up is always good. We figured we were two four hour days out from Jojoba Hills, but decided to stretch to to about 6 hours, because as Carol said, “our rule is made to be broken on occasion.”
After fueling in Yuma we decided to make a stop along the road in Anza Borrego State Park, or any other open space not marked “no camping” along S 2. Somehow six hours became almost eight before we settled into a lovely spot with a sign “Jojoba Wash” Really! we didn’t even know it existed until after we started to set up. We are about 90 minutes out from Jojoba Hills, so we will take our time getting underway in the morning.
The drive was totally uneventful, a wonderful thing, and Obama’s book “A Promised Land” continues to carry us down the road. I am not sure I could sit and listen for the many hours it takes, nor am I sure I could read it, but for hours on the road it is a wonderful companion.
Glad you are almost there, sounds like a good thing when things are uneventful especially when RV’ing!
Hugs
Jane
Sounds peaceful and uneventful. Sometimes that is exactly what one could desire! I am imagining the desert country that you are in and that I love. Hugs to you both.
I have fond memories of the Anza-Borrega Desert. It rained the day we visited, and the smell of the creosote bushes was strong — what an experience we had.
