   Tombstone's a little like stumbling into a rabbit-hole for that which is on the surface belies that which is  underneath, "The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep hole"...Alice in Wonderland

Ed Schieffelin as part of a "scouting voyage" against the Chiricahua Apaches would leave camp, "to look for rocks within the wilderness".  Some of his fellow soldiers told him, "he wouldn't find stones out in the wilderness and would only eventually find his own tombstone."  Ed named his 1st silver mining claim "Tombstone".

Down the rabbit-hole of southwest history we go.

	Super, looking forward to meeting you. Lots of fun places and history here in AZ. We are going up to Dog Town Lake just south of Williams, AZ to "beat the heat" for a week, July 13 thru the 18th. It's sort-of -kind-of in your neighbor hood. We'll be in Loop B, site 44. If you have an opportunity come up. The invitations stands to all. There are many 1st come/1st serve sites available as well as by reservation sites...the more the merrier. The campground's in the Kaibab National Forest. Come watch the Osprey out fish the fisherman at the south end of the lake....yes there is a story there to tell.

	IT'S ON, 5 days in "the town too tough to die", Tombstone, AZ. A Halloween treat so to speak. ARRIVING Friday October 27th, 2017. DEPARTING Monday November 1st, 2017. To what purpose and to what end? To make merry in the Sonora Desert, have some adventures, visit the echos of the past and meet new friends...besides the desert temps will be delightful with days around 75 degrees and nights around 48. Come join us, stay the week, weekend or just a few days, you decide. A desert "soiree" held where, pray tell? At the Tombstone RV Park and Campgrounds just outside of town. ADDRESS 1475 AZ80, Tombstone, AZ 85638. PHONE # (520) 457-3829. WEBSITE www.tomstonervparkcg@gmail.com We are booked in site #43. Those wishing to attend can call Rick or Janice, the owners, and mention the "Rpod Owners Group" so that they can place you in our lily pad (frog) section of the park. Tombstone is a busy place in October with the Wyatt Earp's Vendetta Ride and Tombstone Helldorado Days so park availability is limited. At present there are only 18 park spaces left so if you plan on attending our soiree please make your reservations soon to ensure you end up in our lily pad. To where can we adventure? There is much to see in and around Tombstone including the Katchner Caverns, the towns of Bisbee and Lowell, historical Fort Bowie atop Apache Pass where a misunderstanding triggered a years long war with Cochise in and around the Chiricahua Mountains. So much to see for those with an adventurous soul. Come join us. Bert & Reta
