Saturday - March 17 - We got away from Yuma about 10:30 this morning. Fortunately it was a bit overcast today as the temperature at one point during the trip hit 100 degrees - thank goodness for air conditioning!! We arrived at Benson about 3 and got set up for the night. It looked like it was going to rain when we arrived and was very windy but we got about 6 drops of rain and after a bit it cleared off. There was a lovely sunset tonight so we hope that means a nice day tomorrow.

The couple across the road from us are from Midland so we had a bit of a chat with them. He gave us a couple of good ideas for routes so think we will try them out. I picked up internet a couple of minutes ago and managed to pick up my e-mail, but don’t know if I will be able to get this posted.
