So, we have been spending this last week in
Benson, AZ. We have stayed here a
couple of times, but it has been awhile.
So, we have been busy driving around southern Arizona getting familiar
with the area again. We liked it quite a
bit last time and what a surprise....we still do!
We drove to Davis-Monthan AFB/Tucson one day. On the second day, we drove to Ft. Huachuca Army Base/Sierra Vista and to Patagonia to see where we would be spending our winter. On the third day, we drove over to Casa Verde near Phoenix to see another Co-op park. That park wasn’t as nice as the one in Benson.
This Casita is my favorite one.

After all that driving
around, we decided to stay home to do a little resting and catching up on
everything. We did some walking around
the park, took photos of the Casitas that we liked the best.
The lots are very spacious and people do
quite a bit of landscaping.

We were
assigned a front row site and fell in love with the view. Across the street we were able to watch a lot of different birds along with the Quail. They really kept the cats
entertained.

We know we have not seen
all of the Co-op parks yet, but we decided to get on the Saguaro SKP's waiting
list here in Benson. There are over 300 people waiting to have a site
here which means it may take up to 7 years to get a site. In the meantime, we plan to keep looking at
the other parks. We might change our
minds and decide on a different park. We
can be on more than one waiting list. We
will have to wait and see.
It looks so pretty! I'm not sure I could live in AZ though. My aunt and uncle live there and they love the winters but hate the summers. :-/
ReplyDeleteYou take some fantastic photos, it looks lovely xx
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mrs HillyG, I certainly would love the winters but not so sure about the summers. You seem to have had a good time!
ReplyDeleteWOW that looks really nice! I like the casita you like!
ReplyDeleteI want to visit Arizona again! I got engaged the last and only time I went almost two years ago. I didn't see Benson, but maybe next time! Awesome photographs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Beck Valley Books! I love taking photos to share.
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle, I had emailed Mrs HillyG. And I agree with her, but that is the beauty of living in a motorhome. Winter in AZ and summer in the north. Oh! you bet we have a good time and we have seen a lot of our beautiful country.
ReplyDeleteThanks ArtisianAllUnwound! Isn't it cute! They put a lot of work into that place.
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic!! I can't believe its that long of a waiting list!! Wow!! Take care and enjoy your trip!
ReplyDeleteI think I have been there, back in the 80s. It was May and I wanted to die, it was so hot!!! Being from the UK I'm not sure what a co-op park or a casita is, but it all looks very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Sandy.
