This is trip 15, in 2015! We arrived in Phoenix (AZ) on March 25th and traveled North and East, taking in Jerome, Mogollon Rim, Zuni (NM), El Morro, Farmington, Durango (CO), Ridgway, Black Canyon NP, Breckenridge and Golden. Moving North from there we have been to Fort Collins, Laramie (WY), Cheyenne, Fort Laramie, Chadron (NE), and on to Custer (SD) to explore The Black Hills, as far North as Devil's Tower (WY). From there we have driven East to Dreadwood,then on to pickup our mail in Box Elder before exploring The Badlands NP. We have been to the capital Pierre (SD Capital), before driving North up the Missouri to Bismarck, the capital of North Dakota. We have finished towing by driving via Fargo and Sauk Centre to Minneapolis, where we will clean and store the rig, ready for us when we return for Trip 16 in the Fall (DV). On this trip we have towed the trailer just over 2800 miles.

Out and About in Cottonwood

Thursday

 
 We thought a short excursion today would be a good plan, so we pakced a picnic and set off 15 miles up the road to Cottonwood, a dormitory town from the last century, where 15,000 miners lived. They worked at ta number of silver and copper mines around the place, but lived in Cottonwood.
In reality the Old Town turned out to be just a main street of art, trinket and antique shops, interspersed with cafes and bars.
However we had a very pleasant cuppa, a nice stroll and a picnic on a local trail to the riverside.
On returning we stopped off at Walmart to return a Bissell vacuum, that did not have a crevice tool!
