Tombstone

Last Monday we left Willcox and moved to Tombstone Territories RV Resort it’s not very far and only took us a little while to drive over and set up.

It’s a very nice park, we have great views, the Dragoon Mountains, snow covered Miller Peak in the Huachuca’s and across to the Tombstone Hills and the Mule Mountains.

Dragoon Mountains

Just right for chillin’ out in the sunshine.

Today we took a trip into Tombstone, it was very quiet when we arrived, but soon got busy, we took a look around the Tombstone Courthouse. Arizona has closed a lot of its state parks and the Courthouse was one of them, but the Chamber of Commerce has taken over running it so it is still open.

The gallows were destroyed in the early 20th century but there is a reconstruction in an outside courtyard.

After that we took a look at the Worlds Largest Rose Tree which is just coming into bloom, it is huge! It came from Scotland in 1865 so is over 100 years old and pruning takes 80 hours!

The stem of the rose bush is as big as that of a tree.

The individual blooms are very pretty.

After lunch at the Longhorn Restaurant, we returned to a very hectic afternoon soaking up the sun and the views. Ah life is tough!

Have fun, we are!
