Gilded Cages, Gunfights and a View from the Hill - Tombstone

Among Southern Arizona places of interest is Tombstone, the town too tough to die. On a recent visit, we found a great variety of restaurants, lodging including RV parks and shopping available in the area.

Part of the fun was arriving to see the volunteer Tombstone Vigilantes in period costume perform re-enactments of actual events and comedy skits. Even the very young children in our group got completely caught up in the drama and fun.

Another not-to-miss in Tombstone is Boothill. Visiting the site late in the afternoon adds to its eerie feeling. Outlaws and victims, upstanding Tombstone residents and colorful characters are buried here, 250 in all. A descriptive list guides visitors, so one gets a sense of who is buried here, when and how they died.

Two Great Bets in Las Vegas

1. A fine Las Vegas RV resort opportunity was made available at the Vacation, Sports and Recreational Vehicle Show in Quartzsite, Arizona. A rep in the booth for Arizona Charlie's Boulder at 4575 Boulder Highway, Las Vegas, Nevada offered a flyer for a deal--a two-day RV stay at $19.99 per day. We stayed an additional day and, as Good Sam members, we were given the Good Sam discount. The RV resort was very pleasant and made a great jumping off place for a number of Las Vegas adventures.


2. A traveling pet needs an opportunity to run, play and socialize. We discovered that Las Vegas has a superb dog park where our pet could roam and play in a clean, safe envrionment. Dog Fancier's Park is located at 5800 E Flamingo Rd., Las Vegas, NV 89122.
