Benson sans stars

We drove east to Benson AZ. Regular readers (none) will remember that last year we had planned to stay at the Butterfield RV Park on our way to Mexico. Butterfield RV has an observatory with a 16-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. But we cancelled those plans in favor of my total knee replacement.

So this time we made it to Butterfield. Gonna see some stars tonight!

Nope, too cloudy. :<

Then we went to the Escapees park in Benson. Nice facility. Very friendly people. We liked. They have a 400 person waiting list for 300 sites. Which equals about an 8 year waiting. Maybe a meteor strike…um, no, that might damage the club house. So we signed up for the waiting list for the winter multimonth site rental program.

Time to move on.
