We settled in at Butterfield RV Resort in Benson, AZ, yesterday afternoon late. Will be here for a month (leaving February 20). Lots to see here, including town of Tombstone (23 miles), ghost towns, missle museum, copper mines, Cochese Stronghold, and lots more. You can use Google Earth to zero in on our location. 251 S Ocotille Ave, Benson, AZ, 85602. Photos of the area later.
Yesterday I met a neighbor RVer from Gulfport, MS. Then I met another from Texas who lives near Livingson where our mail goes before being delivered to us wherever we are.
The trucker I mentioned recently gave us some real inside scoop on truckers' life. He never exceeds the hours he is allowed by law to drive. Most, he said, ignore the limits. The highway we were standing near as he talked he said was the most dangerous in America re traffic accidents. A friend of his exceeded his limit of hours by 8 (!), fell asleep, crossed the medium and hit a minivan head on, killing an entire family. The man is doing 55 years in an AZ prison.
The trucker told us he was only 25 miles from his destination, but pulled over to avoid exceeding limit of hours allowed to drive. He then had to wait 14 hours before he could begin driving again. Very articulate guy.
The guy from Gulfport showed me how to build sliding drawers in my storage compartments. Will do that while in Butterfield.
There is a Presbyterian church here in Benson. We'll check it out Sunday.
Blessings, Larry
