Desert Museum in Saguaro National Park, Arizona

After leaving Williams and the Grand Canyon at over 7,000 feet we dropped down to 3,000 feet heading south on I-10 towards Phoenix. We eventually booked into Valley of The Sun RV Park in Marana, Arizona situated near Tucson. We stayed there two nights and visited the Desert Museum in Saguaro National Park on Sunday. This museum is very unique as 90% is outside depicting all facets of desert flora and fauna, very interesting.
Today we drove for five hours across mostly desert landscape, finally reaching Mission RV Park on the east side of El Paso.
While fuelling up Paul detected a sewerage smell and assumed the other RV at the gas was the culprit. Then just around the corner along the way there was a huge cattle feedlot, about 2 km in length with thousands of cattle. As they say in Texas…….
Noticeable since coming into US are very long freight trains, some of them double deckers. Tractor trailer traffic, bad as it is now, would be unbelievable if those trains were not in service.
We had to drive through horrendous El Paso four o’clock rush hour traffic but the necessary lane changes were easy due to plenty of notice on signs. This park has a heated swimming pool and hot tub jacuzzi so we were able to ease out the tension from driving.
The weather continues to be in our favor with sunshine every day and the occasional rain at night.
