A Photo Essay of Last Month's Travels....

First a few pictures of today's travels on January 2, 2015.

Leaving New Mexico...

...on NM Hwy. 9 going west...

...still snow at Arizona border...

... finally, clear in Benson, AZ, but cold!

(  Writing this from Kartchner Caverns State Park in  Benson,  Arizona.     Arrived here on January 2, 2015  at 3:00 in the afternoon and had 35˚  weather and we had to drive through snow for 240 miles from Columbus, New Mexico to Benson.  It was only a couple inches on the ground but it was very slippery.   It might be warmer in Michigan!!  
We are only staying for tonight and driving on to  Ajo, Arizona to look for a dispersed campsite for a week.  It's supposed to be Highs 70/Lows 45 . That's a lot better than  45/23 
which is all they are predicting for this area for next week. There is no snow at this campgrounds but it's very cold, 10pm now and 24˚ )
