Horseshoe Cafe & Friends

One of the benefits of following blogs other than viewing great pictures and different places is to get to know people through their blogs.  In many cases you actually get to meet the blogger and see them in person.  Jerry & Suzy are bloggers who belong to the latter case.  We met them for a short time a couple months ago and had a short chat and agreed to meet for lunch or dinner sometime later.

Today was the later day as we met them in Benson, AZ at the Horseshoe Cafe for a late lunch.  It is much easier to talk between the lunch and dinner hour and not feel like you are taking the table out of circulation.  The Cafe is on the main street of Benson and was very easy to find.  We actually ate there a couple years ago on one of our geocaching expeditions. 

We all got settled in and began a "chin wag" and the conversation flowed easily as if we've know them for a number of years.  In a way we do, since I've followed their blog for the last couple of years.  You learn a lot about a person from their blog and I knew they were our kind of people.   We had a nice meal and then went to their place in the Escapee Park nearby for a short visit.  They have a very nice setup and we got to see the famous grandfather's clock they carried with them in their motorhome for a couple of months.  It's amazing that they had room in the mh for that thing.  I don't feel so bad about carrying all of Gerry's craft "stuff" now.

All too quickly the visit came to an end and we had to get back on the road to Tucson, but I am sure our paths will cross once again before we head back East.  Jerry & Suzy have plans to visit the East Coast in the next couple years and Washington, DC is in their plans.  Our cabin isn't too far from DC and maybe we can show them some sites that tourists don't normally get to see.  Thanks guys for the nice time and visit.

To cap off a great day we had a beautiful sunset to view as we got back to the park.  We did stop by the DQ to take advantage of their March special on Blizzards and that delayed us enough to capture the sunset photo.
