Arizona

Up early (for us) and packed up and on the road by 0830. Although there was some rain overnight it stopped long enough to put the rest of stuff away this morning. The temperature dropped down to 4Ā°C as the morning went on, and we climbed up to 5000 feet crossing the Continental Divide.

A few miles north of where we stayed, the land became more fertile with a lot of dairy farming. Shortly after that the landscape became very flat with dry grass and small bushes growing out of the sand. We could drive and see for miles, but at times there was no sign of any life, animal or human. As we approached the Arizona border, the views became similar to the Scottish Highlands.

There was one area where there numerous large bouldersĀ dominating the view, unfortunately the camera wasn’t handy and by the time Lyn got it ready we had almost left the area.

You can even see the trailer in the mirror!

We continued north through Tombstone, with the rain getting heavier and the spray restricting visibility in places.

Eight hours after leaving we arrived at our new home for the next month. Again the rain gods were kind to us and the rain held off while we set up.
