#9 Tombstone Territories

We left the amenity rich golf resort on the border and planned on a much more primitive stay in historic Tombstone, Arizona. Who would've thought that our Passport America app would lead us to a campground about 10 miles out of Tombstone that has an indoor pool, ping pong, billiards and a dog run plus desert ATV access from the campsite and fantastic landscaping. 




The rides to Tombstone were relaxing as the weather was absolutely perfect. While we did get some rain, it was not a hinderance.  It was a blessing - the desert colors were more vibrant and the air smelled clean and pure after receiving just a small amount of water.


The Town of Tombstone was one of the coolest "tourist trap" places I've been to. We loved the history, the legend and the saloons. And of course we came home with a 4-pack of sasparilla!

Alas today we leave the comfort of 4-5000 foot elevations - with their 80 degree days and 50 degree nights - and head farther west into the desert where we'll see exactly how dry that heat really is.
