Having surveyed the town of Tombstone we then used Friday seeing the sights there. First of all we took a ride on the Old Butterfield Stage, which was originally used to travel between Tombstone and Yuma, via Nogales. This gave us a gentle tour round the streets of Tombstone and an insight into its history.
Following this we stopped in at the Gunfight At The O.K. Corral for their 12.00 performance. It was fun, though I have seen better acting.
From there we went for lunch at the Longhorn Restaurant again.
The last major stop was to Boot Hill, just out of town. (Dead centre of town). Vry interesting to see the many graves of the 1880's with simple epitaphs like; Died, Murdered, Killed on their head boards (mostly wooden and probably more recent than 1880's).
We returned to our trailer and put our feet up for an hour or two before having a quiet tea.
I have now worked out that Android/Ipad readers can use the link 'View All' to go to the Picasa Albums site to view photos as a slide show.
Great journey from Tombstone, in AZ, to the Napa Valley, in CA...............................................Including Jim and Connie's Party!
What we did!
This is the blog of our 12th Trip to the U.S.A.
On this trip we arrived in March and spent a week with our friends Connie NA Jim at their Bluegrass Party, in Florida.
We then flew to Phoenix, where we collected our rig and then explored Southern Arizona, from the cowboy city of Tombstone in the East, to the desert City of Yuma in the West.
Travelling north along the course of the Colorado river we visited the London Bridge at Lake Havasu before exploring the Mojave Desert, including some more of Rout 66 and Calico Ghost Town.
Moving North West through California we shared in the CBA Bluegrass Campout in Turlock, before visiting Bodega Bay to follow The Birds. After sampling the delights of the Napa Valley we joined in The Fiddle Convention at Cloverdale before storing our rig and returning home after seeing some friends in San Leandro, near San Francisco.
This blog gives a day to day record of many of the things we did on this trip.
