Tombstone

Three days on the road and we finally got back on the net. On the first day out of San Antonio we were still in Texas. Our stop for the night was in Van Horn. On the second day we stopped in El Paso and we had lunch at Rosa's Cantina, remember the song that Marty Robbins sang "El Paso".
What an experience it was in a real old part of town that was actually part of the old highway. The building was old and very run down looking, inside it had a lot of character. The new owner is fixing it up.

Our next stop was near Tombstone in the Tombstone Territorial RV camp, in the morning we went into town and did all the touristy things such as watching the shootout at the OK Corral, going on an underground silver mine tour "The Good Enough Mine" and having lunch at Big Nose Kates Saloon.

She was Doc Holidays girlfriend and Wyatt Earp was the Sheriff there. After taking a trolley tour of the Tombstone area we headed out and finished our day at Tucson where we are now camped at the Beaudry RV campground for four nights.

Hi guys, wondered where you were. Now you're getting into an area we've been to. You're right about Tombstone - a tourist trap. We used Benson as a home base and travelled around from there. Bisbee is a quaint town with lots of history. We also made a trip underground to the Kartchner (sp) Caverns. We were about 6 weeks later in our travels through this area.- Carol
