Safford, AZ

We arrived here on Sunday from Las Cruces, NM - such a big drive it was - we left at noon and arrived here about 3 and stopped for lunch on the way.  That is unheard of for our travel habits.

On Monday we drove around town (population about 9,000), had lunch, and did a bit of shopping.  There is an Ace Hardware that could put Home Depot to shame for the variety of hardware items they carried.  It consisted of several buildings with entries from one into the other - it was huge.  We then drove out to Discovery Park which is part of Eastern Arizona college.  Everything was locked and it looked like no one has been around for quite a while.  Later when talking to one of the locals, it had closed several years ago, but they have a caretaker to look after it.  Too bad as it looked like it could be rather interesting.

Today we just stayed around the motorhome and did some clean-up.  I cut out all my quilt batting for quilts I have been trying to work on since last winter, as well as some more flannel.  I am almost all done cutting so let the sewing begin!!

Tomorrow we are off to Apache Junction for a couple of days.  Another big day - 150 miles.   Will update you on our fun in our new spot.
