Our Space at the SKP Park in Benson, AZ
Ideal parking, no close neighbors. This is too our front and down the street. This is a lease lot park. Each lease holder put a lump sum down and pays a yearly maintenance fee. They build on their lot their choice of buildings as you see. There is a list of future lease holders and as a lot becomes available, the next in line has the option of purchasing the lease and buying the improvements on that lot. Some of these lots can be expensive. Contact the office here for the actual purchase requirements.
Its also looking east into the sun and glare.
This is out our "back" door. We are on a hill and hence the terrace. These residents should have some very nice views of the mountains to the east from the terrace lots. And the rising sun every morning.
Notice how neat and clean it all looks.
This is our next door neighbor's front yard. Very nicely done. We got in about mid afternoon and by the time we checked in, arrived at our space and got setup, it was late in the day.
We could not get the wifi here to work after many tries, up went the dish. Once the dish was setup and tied down, the sun was setting and it was beginning to get cooler.
Snow on the mountain as we drove west to Benson. I have no idea where this is but look for it on your way west on I10.
We stopped for lunch at the little town of Bowie and got a couple of subs there. This little town is in the middle of some tree plantations.
They grow pecan and other nuts. Some of the tree farms are very, very large.
The weather for Benson today is a cool 51 with sunny skies and calm wind. I say calm as later it will become breezy. As in 25-35 mph sustained and gusts forecast to 45. Not a day to be driving. Nor a day to play golf. Not really a day to get out.We may try to go sight seeing and check out the other parks but that's about it. We have a full pantry and clean clothes, no trips for that. Hopefully we can get more pics of the park for you. It really is nice. Similar to the Ranch in Lakewood, NM. See our '06 trip and pics.
Update:
We have been full timers for nearly two years now. I all that time there was this woman named Charlie60 that followed our adventures from day one. They finally went full time last year and became members of the class of '06. I followed them before they started, to buying their coach to actually getting on the road. Well its a small world after all. They are here in Benson, AZ too. In fact she sent a comment that they were coming over today and she and her hubby Mike did.
I was outside when she drove up. I recognized the Jetta and that blond hair immediately. I yelled at Shirley that we have company and she immediately began to get the place ready. We had just had breakfast at 9:15 and Shirley was finishing the dishes. We will meet them tomorrow evening at their place for dinner.
