Drive from Deming to Benson Arizona,

We drove 175 miles from Deming, NM to Benson, Arizona making one fuel stop on our way. A large storm covered most of New Mexico but no snow fell in Deming but it was raining hard this morning so we got pretty wet disconnecting our water and electric, then hooking up the CRV. We had rain for most of the drive but it got lighter and more sporadic as we got close to Arizona.  

We arrived at Cochise Terrace RV Resort at 1:00PM and started setting up for our one week stay.  Our site is gravel but it is water logged so as we continue stepping on the gravel it is bringing mud up through the gravel. The weather forecast says sun and 60s’ for the next few days so that may help dry us out.

After lunch we finished our setup, took a walk and then drove into Benson. We stopped at the Post Office for our first mail delivery and then did some shopping at Wal-Mart. John got the CRV washed as it was very dirty after towing it in the rain today. Tonight we will sort our mail and plan some things to do this week in the Benson area.
