We got up Thursday, and the plan was to check out of the campground, and take the RV's and the car to Tombstone, so we could tour at our leisure. We parked the RV's in the designated lot, and took the car to tour the town.
We toured the town, about 5 complete blocks of tourist shops with a western theme. Some were claimed to be original. There were horse riders and stagecoaches in the road:
We also went into a saloon/restaurant that had a downstairs area via a winding staircase. In the men's restroom, they had a long urinal overfilled with ice, with the sign in the second picture above it:
We eventually spent the money, and took an 'authentic' trolley car tour of the town. Here is Sue and Patsy in the trolley car:
Afterwards, we walked around town looking for a place to eat lunch. I caught Mark and Sue standing in the street taking a picture, so I took their picture, but not before they saw me and took my picture of me taking their picture.........confused?!!?
As we walked down the sidewalk, I was acosted by a hot tempered 80 year-old French-Italian woman, who insisted that we eat at her restaurant....... Nellie Cashman's Restaurant. She even came by later to make sure that we made it. See Mark's blog for picture, since she was picking on me, I am sure Mark published it!!:
The restauranjt was a good choice. We had burgers, and they were big! After lunch, we walked the rest of the town. Here are a bunch of photos:
Before we left town, we visited Boot Hill cemetary, and took these pictures. The concept of Mark in Boot Hill is an interesting one!!!:
After Boot Hill, we hooked the car up to the Bus, and headed north to Casa Grande. We are going to attend the "Second Annual Western Gypsy Gathering Rally" put on by Nick Russell, publisher of 'The Gypsy Journal" RV newspaper next week in Casa Grande. As part of the rally, Sue and Patsy are scheduled to take driving lessons on Saturday.
