Huachuka City, AZ

And then it was time to leave the Benson, AZ area. We have spent most of our time here the past 5 months and it is with mixed emotions that we leave. First stop before leaving Benson and Saguaro SKP Park was Shannon's Auto Parts where we finished up project - replacing all rubber valve stems on Airstream Trailer tires with steel valve stems and then replacing all lug nuts, with solid, steel lugs. Crazy how Airstream utulizes a metric thread on the lug and then puts a Standard Thread cap on the nut. This cap is glued on so that the first time you put an air wrench to it, it causes problems. To avoid this we had them all replaced. Have a special socket that will allow us to use any tire wrench to remove lugs.  This project was in preparation of installing the Air Pressure Monitoring System we bought at the Escapade in Tucson. With this done, we were on our way - for a breakfast break. Stopped at Reb's Coffee Shop & Cafe- all the time we spent in Benson, this was the first time. Not a bad place. Noticed this sign on the wall while eating......

John Deere - Runs good. Missing steering wheel and seat. Ideal for the person who has lost his ass and doesn't know which way to turn.

And then it was off to Huachuka City, which was just a short 15 mile run down RT 90. We stayed at Quails Ridge RV Resort 3/24 & 3/25.....

Our neighbors there were a couple from Wyoming, Vernon(Smitty) & Becky Smith. They had actually "hosted" at a summer camp in Vermont in the vicinity of Maidstone Lake in the northeast kingdom. Small world.

While in the area, we took advantage of some nice restaurants available. The first night there, we took a ride in to Sierra Vista and did Italian with a stop at Olive Garden. The real treat was the next night when we traveled west about 22 miles to Sonoita and ate at a place that was recommended by Sparky during our stay at Cochise Terrace. We were not disappointed. Their specialty is steak. Home grown beef and cooked over Mesquite fire.

I have to say, we did get our moneys worth that night. Definitely a place that I would go back to. Back at the park, you can't help but notice all of the 4 wheelers. This is definitely big in this area. Trails are nearby....

And then it was time to pack up and head out. Our 2 days here were good. Nice little park. Then it was off to Tombstone.
