Weekend Sight-seeing 3/1/2008

Well sports fans, Arda and I took the week-end to be tourists... our friend Vagabond Tom tagged along with us. Arda didn't ride and neither did I. On Saturday we went to a dude ranch (Grapevine Canyon Ranch) to visit with a friend (Annie) whom I met at Bob King's place. She was working a couple of mustangs for some people and Bob was helping her out.

Next we headed to Tombstone. Instead of taking the highway, we took the back roads... and I mean back roads. We took almost 2 hours to travel a little over 15 miles. Of course we stopped along the way to take lots of pictures and the terrain was not the best as you can see from these pictures.



Along the way Tom also did a little Geo caching...
It was a great drive...

Tombstone is a really neat city which I would recommend to everyone to visit. The main street has been refurbished to the period of the old west except there are probably (??) a lot more tourist traps. There are a number of places one can go to see the re-enactment of the shoot out at the "OK Corral". Arda has seen 2 different reenactments and both were pretty good.
There are also some pretty unique signs hanging either in the stores or on the covered walk-ways...
Lots more pictures but too many for my blog...


Temperature = 81
