We knew as soon as we woke up, and heard the straps on the window awning humming,
that we would not be driving up Mt Lemmon as planned. . .
if it’s this windy here. . .can’t imagine what it would be like on the mountain. . .
so. . .reboot. . .literally. . .
Tombstone is way high on Dave’s list of must sees. . .
so off we go. . .about 60 miles away. . .
what to say. . .what to say. . .it’s a Western Town. . .
you know. . .one of those Tourist _ _ _ _ Towns. . .
which we sort of knew going in. . .but even more so than we expected. . .
Sorry Babe. . .at least you got to see it. . .right?
to be fair. . .there really is a lot of history to be found in the area. . .
The Court House is on a part of the Tombstone State Historical Park. . .
and contains a fairly extensive museum on the inside. . .
you know Dave loves a good museum. . .
two of my favorite things. . .
I told you, and told you about putting all that
funny stuff on FaceBook every morning. . .
off to the (newly reconstructed) gallows you go. . .
time for the serious stuff. . .
the Shoot Out at the OK Corral. . .
I mean. . .anyone who’s ever watched Westerns
knows about the shootout at the OK Corral. . .right?
and. . .last stop. . .Boot Hill. . .
every western town is required to have a Boot Hill. . .
there was a beautiful view of what I believe are the Dragoon Mountains
as viewed from Boot Hill. . .
and that was it. . .it really was a fun day to be out and about. . .
and we saved another $15 with our Tucson Passport Savings book,
the weather warmed up, and turned out lovely. . .
It reminded me of taking our boys to Dodge City Kansas
when they were about 12 or so. . .they loved it. . .
and I guarantee. . .any child would love Tombstone just as much. . .
Not sure what our plans are for tomorrow,
so check back in . . .okay!
’til then,
Janice and Dave
