Drive from Yuma to Benson

We left Yuma at about 10 am this morning.   We thanked Ed, Lavaughn and Jimmy for their hospitality.   We had a great time while there.   I took some pictures along the way.  We stopped at a road side park for a while.

We had made plans to stop in Benson, AZ for the night.   After I checked out the GPS, Mark says “Take the lead”, so we pass them up.

We stopped at about 5 pm at this Gas City.  This is a very nice place and good place to park.

They have all these wagons surrounding the parking area so I walked around taking these pictures.

This is a horse drawn three seater.   The back seats face each other.

I think this is something like a pick up style where they could carry stuff in the back…
