Another one of those billboards that made me split a gut laughing was....Synthetic grass in Tucson...LOL! It wasn't the synthetic grass part, it was the fact there was a store for it hahahaa!!
So we ran into some short showers outside of Tucson, but not bad enough where we had to stop -- we keep on truckin our way to Phoenix which is our next big hurdle. With over a million people living there, I can't imagine the traffic, but first a pit stop at Pichacho Peak for gas -- such beautiful mtns!! Browsed thru the gift shop, now that was fun...wooohoo....a tie dyed shirt for me and a sarape for hubby! They decorate their bridges & overpasses with art, it is truely beautiful!!
Ahhhh the hustle & bustle of Phoenix, during lunchtime no less with some brief showers. Made for tricky driving, but hubby got us thru. To the north of Phoenix lay a whole agriculture area, not sure what was planted in those green fields, but one would never think of Phoenix as being an agricultural area and the palm trees, you would think we had gone all the way into LA!
So now onto Wickenberg, Congress and then finally Stanton. That last part was tricky, especially the rain showers and a brief downpour as Charlie got a bath and blow dry in the back lol. We had to go on some back roads & 2 lane hwys. from there and then finally a 5 mile dirt road to get to the final destination! Pulled in about 1:00 and got everything set up, walked Charlie, then we went exploring, din din, dishes and I am beat. I stayed here to putz while hubby went to town to see what kind of trouble he could get in!
I applaud hubby for getting us here with his expertise driving!! Thank you honey! We were so blessed during this whole trip....no issues with the truck or camper, gas didn't cost as much as we thought and it seems since we hit AZ time is going slower and our gas mileage got better, so go figure....blessings to all!
