Chiricahua National Monument

We left Yuma and started heading east.  We kept looking at the weather in the north and decided to slow down and stay awhile longer in the south.  We stayed in a little town called Willcox, Az.   Outside of town about 30 some miles is the Chiricahua National Monument.  We took several drives through it and really enjoyed the views.  There is only one road and you follow it up to the top and  the vistas are terrific with all the pillars of stone caused by wind and erosion. 

Willcox is a cute little town and has several wineries and the Rex Allen cowboy museum.   We found a nice little campground that was inexpensive and decided to enjoy the area for a few days.  We got to meet up with two couples that we worked with that were traveling through the area at the same time.  One couple were on their way to Tuscon.  The other couple were on their way to their summer job and were going to stop at the Grand Canyon.  They happened to be coming through Willcox when we were so we got to have a nice reunion.

We are now in New Mexico and still watching the terrible weather in the north.  We will slowly make our way north but will be extending our stay here and there as the weather dictates.
