We are in Arizona!

 Wednesday, November 10, 2021

Today was a travel day and usually we do some packing up the night before. Last night we did not. So even though we were up and moving around 7:00am we did not pull out of the Low-Hi RV Ranch until close to 11:00. There may have been some relaxing coffee time in there, also. Today's ride will take us just about 200 miles west and then south. We enjoyed our stay at this park and would stop again.

Top left corner was at the end of our row it is called the

Pyramid of Geezers. One down is the Stumphenge at the

end of the row behind us.  Bottom one is the office.

Top middle looking down the road behind us and then on 

the right looking towards the entrance.

The last larger picture is our site.

I am not sure exactly were we are on I-10 I am going to

guess close to Lordsburg. The hope is the ride will be 

smoother once all the construction is finished.

Leaving Deming we found I-10 rough going.

We have come by this area and seen water out on the flats

 today we could only see the potential for dust. 

We have seen a lot of these along I-10.

We also see a lot of these.

Then we spotted this sign ahead. We have seen it several

times over the years and it is always a welcome sight.

We were also glad to see the rest stop sign we knew would

be just past the Arizona State Line. It was time for lunch.

I-10 as we crossed into Arizona.

The Semis keep coming.

They may be grey sticks right now but I was happy to

see the Ocotillos out the window.

Then we were driving by the Texas Canyon.

A few more miles and we were exiting on to AZ-90.

When we left here at the end of March this Border Patrol

Check Point was closed nice to see it open again,

A turn right off of AZ-90 onto AZ-82 and we can see this 

sign. We will call this home for 5 nights. We have stayed

here at least once every adventure and always enjoy our stay.

Today is Veteran's Day in the USA and Remembrance Day in Canada both special days to remember those who have served and say Thank You.

We have never stopped here and not taken at least one ride over to Tombstone and today we did just that and having lunch at Big Nose Kate's was in the plan. You and George came to mind today Suzie we remember George's Blog about this place which is what brought us here the first time. We miss you both.

This gentleman did an excellant job keeping us 

entertained while we enjoyed our lunch.

As we left after lunch we decided to take a 

selfie. As many times as we have been here

it is the first time we thought of it.

When we got here the street was fairly busy as we left

 we noticed was how few people there were.

No trip to Tombstone would be complete, in our opinion, 

without a trip up to the Linear Garden.

A new addition since the last time is Grumpy's Book Nook.

Nancy, Kissack Adventures, posted about this a few years

ago and we have enjoyed checking it out each time we 

stop. Thanks Nancy.

Besides the fun of seeing the Linear Garden the views

of Tombstone are wonderful.

The days ahead are predicted to be sunny and warm and we plan on enjoying them.  We hope where ever you are you are enjoying each day, also.

We are glad you stopped by!

A Quick Tombstone Visit and Checking out the Linear Garden.

 Thursday, December 10, 2020

Well we did not leave today though we did take a short drive to the west of us to ride through Las Cienegas National Conservation Area, tomorrows post. We did leave the park this morning for a 9 o'clock appointment to have the generator checked out, we had a leak that Tom could not get at. Turns out it was a loose hose connection. So that ended well. I had left a message with the park office saying we would be back to pay our electric bill and it turned out we had one more night. That was a nice miss calculation on my part because instead of getting a late start today we will get an earlier start in the morning.

After lunch today we decided to take a short drive over to Tombstone and take a walk up and down Allen Street and then take a ride up the hill to check out the Linear Garden. It was strange how few people there were in Tombstone today. The only other time we have been there when it was this quiet was a couple of years ago at night. 

Heading East on AZ-82.

When you are on AZ-82 going East towards AZ-80 and

you see the Cottonwoods in the distance you know you are

getting close to the San Pedro River

No water to be seen from the bridge on AZ-82.

Coming into Tombstone on our left was the Butterfield

Stage Stop fully decorated for the Christmas Season.

The City Hall on Freemont Street was decorated, also.

The court house had a tree on the upper balcony.

All the lampposts were decked out and several of the 

stores had decorations out. Plus, there Christmas Tree is up. 

Big Nose Kates

Not sure if this cowboy was a bandit 

or wearing a masks as a sign of the times.

Then up the hill to check out the Linear Garden.

Still there and still quirky. 

Plus, when you are up there you get a nice view of Tombstone.

The Courthouse stands out in the distance.

As we left I took a couple more pictures of the Butterfield

Stage Stop they really go all out with decorations.

Plus, we went by this motorhome dressed as Rudolph.

Just liked this cloud.

Heading back home.

Crossing the San Pedro River one last time this visit.

We are glad you stopped by!

(Still in Texas) Catching Up (Visiting Bisbee and Happy Hour With Friends)

Thursday, March 12, 2020

We are stopped for the night in another Texas Rest Area off of I-20 near Van, TX. We started the day under cloudy skies but before long the sun was shining and checking temperatures along the way it was not long before it was in the 80's. After spending several months in the desert with all the cacti and lovely Ocotillos we are now seeing a lot of green grass. Today we could see leaves budding on the trees.

Lots of green grass along our way.
This morning as we were getting ready to leave we could see
this guy peeking out at us. 

Catching UP

Monday Shirley and Ken, Seeing America with Ken and Shirley arrived in time for Happy Hour.
The conversation for the next few hours never stopped. One of the things we discussed was going to Bisbee for lunch the next day.

We picked them up in the morning but before we took off we had a tour of their new "Mansion" and it is beautiful. I love Shirley's kitchen area I know she has more counter space then I do. Yes, I am just a little jealous.🌞 I of course never took a picture but I know she has put several out on her blog. We hope they have many fun trips in their new home away from home on wheels.

We peeked in here. We have walked by in the past but this was
the first time the gates were open. Checking online this is
actually an event venue. Those Iron Gates, no picture, we
walked in through are 100 years old.

This Plaza is in front of the Bisbee Mining and
Historical Museum.

Ken and Tom checking something out, upper left picture,
Shirley kept walking.

On display in front of the Museum.

Interesting little tidbit Tom and I had never noticed before.
These flies are on the Museum.

Taking a walk and checking out a couple of stores.
Saw this sign.

We stopped and had lunch at Santiago's Mexican Restaurant. We all thought the food was quite good and I enjoyed my Margarita. It may have been a little pricey but Tom and I have ate at a couple of restaurants in Bisbee and we thought the prices were in line with the other restaurants in the area. It is a tourist spot after all.

I did take a selfie before we got back in the Jeep to head home.
I am not sure why Tom is the only one who looks like he is
smiling because we all agreed we had a good time.
The area we were parked in is known as the
Historic Brewery Gulch. 

Heading back to Quail Ridge we took a quick side trip into
Tombstone to see the Linear Garden. 

Arriving back home it was almost time for Happy Hour. Deb and Riley, On a long and lonesome highway...., arrived followed by Doug and Michelle, and Shirley and Ken. Shirley came with snacks which we all enjoyed. It was a fun few hours and the conversation in the Stinger "B" never stopped.

Top right: Deb and Riley, Bottom Right Doug and Michelle
Left: Ken and Tom, In the Mirror: Shirley and I.

This was definitely a good day. We spent the afternoon in Bisbee where we had a nice lunch with good friends. Came back and spent the evening enjoying a Happy Hour filled with conversation and laughter with good friends. A memory day for sure.

This would be the problem I sometimes encounter because I am behind with posting. I really do not remember what we did. I am thinking it was one of those days we just enjoyed and did not do anything but relax because I did not take any pictures.

We are glad you stopped by!

If you have time to leave a comment we would enjoy hearing from you.
