Motor Home repaired, off to New Mexico

We were up early and all disconnected ready to head up for our 9:30 appointment at Mescal Auto Repair.  I was surprised when I checked in that they already had the seal there and were ready to work on it.  We took the Smart Car and drove around  Benson, located the Gallery Veda has her paintings in.

It is a nice place and the owner turned out to be from Washington.  I decided I wanted to see the Benson airport so we took a drive out to it.

It was pretty interesting looking at the erosion on the way out.  There was one helicopter shooting touch and goes.

The DC-3 parked there needs lots of work, the fabric on the rudder and elevators is in pretty poor shape.  They have a 1955 Dodge Coronet parked there for pilots to use.

We had lunch at the Horse Shoe Cafe, it was done in fifties style and even had the old time jukebox selectors at the tables.

We gave Tami a call and stopped by there for a visit.  Veda was there also and we really enjoyed our time with them.

We went back to Mescal and they were just finishing up with the motor home.  I paid them, hooked up the Smart Car and took this picture. Then we headed East on I10 toward New Mexico.

Texas Canyon was really interesting Vera was busy taking pictures of the balancing rocks.

We stopped at the rest area by it and took lots of pictures.  

 Then we continued East again on I10 with Lordsburg New Mexico as our goal.  Now we can both say we have been in New Mexico.

We spent the night in the rest area there.

The rest stop was really nice with lots of covered eating areas.

They had a twenty four hours limit on parking there so we will have no problem being on the road again in about eight hours.

The sunset was spectacular this evening.
