February 28, 2023 - North Phoenix, AZ to Lordsburg, NM

After spending the last couple weeks with Tobey’s mom and sister in Scottsdale, we went north for a couple nights to have some time with my sister and her husband. I got some great sister time and we spent a day shopping – always fun! Then we were treated to Jim's great chili - Yum!

This morning we pointed the RV south and headed first to Florence, Arizona to have lunch with my cousin. Mount Athos Greek Restaurant had really good gyros and they were huge! After a good visit, we continued on to Lordsburg, New Mexico for the night. Tobey obliged me and we stopped to take pictures of the flowers along Highway 74, as well as some of the desert landscapes.

We stayed overnight at the Veterans Park, just south of town tonight. There was one other RV parked at the far side of the park and we almost didn’t see them! Our tailpipe weld came loose, so Tobey called a mobile welder and he came out to the park and got us fixed up in no time. It was a little more expensive than what we paid in Missouri (go figure), but hopefully it will be the last time we have to do this!

Tobey grilled some pork chops tonight and then we were treated to a beautiful sunset before settling in for the night.

Tomorrow we head to Carlsbad Caverns.
