Driving West to Benson, Arizona





Today's drive starts on 















      Shoppers have lots of choices at Bowlin's Akela Flats.






Eric & I drive through the
Border Inspection Station.






 Our first sighting of
  The THING? signs.





      
               Akela Flats looks like an Old West town.





WAIT
Until the Dust Settles
NMDOT





The beginning of a very
LONG freight train.









I take photos of picnic tables
enclosed by Casitas at a
Rest Area.




The roof provides shade.

The sides help protect picnickers
from blowing sand.









I drive while Eric takes pictures...






This roadside fire slows traffic.




Dust Storms 
May Exist
Next 15 Miles







Eric's signature shots follow...




Zero Visibility
Possible




Use Extreme
Caution






Welcome to Arizona








This is a new sign....  Eric and I took a photo with the Arizona sign last year when we were driving west to Benson and Yuma.  






Eric takes over the driving
at a Rest Stop.





A small Windmill 











Benson is just 36 miles away...




THE THING?
Exit NOW
Explore the Mystery
of the Desert




When I look at this rock-strewn
mountain, all I can think of






Eric takes Exit 306 to
RV Park





The windshield of our motorhome
is covered to help keep us cool
in 90 degree plus temperatures.






We have 50 amp electric service, with good voltage; water, and sewer hookups.  It's good to stay put for a while after days of driving and nights spent sleeping in parking lots.
