Driving Northeast to Red Rock, Arizona, With Help From Kerry

Eric & I start our drive

 on Interstate 8 East.

Red Rock is northeast
of Tucson.

This section of highway

is dead straight.

RV & Residential Lots are
available near Wellton.

We pass farm fields.

I don't know what

this crop is.

The A on this mountain is for
Antelope Union High School
in Tacna.

The Speed Limit on this section of 

the highway is 75 miles per hour.

Eric is driving at 63 miles per hour.  The few cars and trucks traveling east are passing us.

The exit ramp for Mohawk Valley
has an arrow showing its tightly
curving ramp.

One of several Rest Areas

along Interstate 8 East.

Tire treads on the shoulder
of the road.

We enter a Blowing

Dust Area.

My favorite landscape 

photo on today's drive.

A tractor trailer hauling an

 oversized load moves toward

the road shoulder to let

us pass.

Interstate 8 East ends &
Interstate 10 East
continues.

I'd love to know what this

enclosed platform is for.

Eric & I stop at the
Flying J Travel Plaza
in Eloy to top off our
diesel tank.

The exit to Red Rock

The Red Rock water tower
sits next to the train tracks.

The Park Link Drive Rehabilitation

is still up.

Eric & I to wait a bit to continue

on our route.

The road is closed and we were directed to follow Detour signs.

The first leg of the detour
is on Missile Base Road.

Another detour sign....

The GPS shows that there
are roads to the left that
will bring us to BLM
(Bureau of Land Management)
Land & our campsite.

Here we are, on a dirt road.

Kerry's tractor is in the

background.

She & Eric went to get some
boards to help free the
motorhome from the dip
that we couldn't navigate.






(Eric and I unhitched our Jeep and moved it up the road, out of our way.)

With our jacks extended, the

rear wheels on the driver's

side are off the ground.

Kerry uses our tow strap and her tractor to pull us out of the dip in front of her house.  Eric and I thank her over and over again.  

Eric turned the motorhome around in Kerry's driveway and waved goodbye to our Hero.  I follow Eric, in our Jeep, back to the missed detour sign and continue toward BLM Land.

About seven miles later
we parked in our
campsite.

Three bits of Teddy Bear
Cholla attached themselves
to the motorhome's door.

We are boondocking for

four nights.

This is our new neighborhood.
