We spent the Thanksgiving holiday in Benson, Arizona. Benson is just east of Tuscon. We went to the Pima Air and Space Museum. This museum is on 80 acres and holds 300 military aircraft. The picture is of the old blackbird spyplane that used to be the plane that flew the fastest and the highest. We also went to Saguaro National Park. The park is filled with these beautiful cactus.
We opted to have our own Thanksgiving turkey dinner instead of going to the large gathering at the campground. It was very good and for once we had leftovers to enjoy. The campground has a large telescope and an astronomer on staff. One evening we went to one of his shows. We got to see some star clusters, galaxies, nebulas, binary stars, and even Jupiter with four of its moons. All the objects we saw through the scope you cannot see with the naked eye.
We will be at our destination on Wednesday the first of December -- Wellton, Az.
