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 ------------- Old and in the way so now it's time to play |

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. ------------- Old and in the way so now it's time to play |

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. http://methus.smugmug.com/Tombstone-bits-and-pieces/ - http://methus.smugmug.com/Tombstone-bits-and-pieces/ ------------- Old and in the way so now it's time to play |

Sounds like great fun! (and I've been to Tombstone, definitely worth visiting). We have reservations elsewhere those dates or we'd join in. Look forward to hearing about it. ------------- 2017 R-Pod 179 HRE (the green one) His:Ford F150 double cab 4WD; Hers/mine:Tacoma V6 double cab 4WD Still love rugged, diggin' comfy too |

"Curiouser and Curiouser!" Alice in Wonderland The New York Times, "The Bird Cage Theater is the Wildest, Wickedest Night Spot, Between Basin Street and the Barbary Coast". It operated 24/7 for over 8 years. Its' handmade cherry wood bar from Pittsburgh, PA was shipped around the Horn of South America. In its' basement the Bird Cage had "the longest Pork Game, Lasting 8 years, 5 months and 3 days...Buy In was $1,000...Famous gamblers like Bat Masterson, Diamond Jim Brady, Adolphus Busch from Busch Brewery and George Randolph Hurst would meet 4 times a year to play." Lively times and sporting entertainment for those who chose to partake. http://methus.smugmug.com/The-Bird-Cage-Theater/ - http://methus.smugmug.com/The-Bird-Cage-Theater/ ------------- Old and in the way so now it's time to play |

Alice was beginning to get very tired...suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her...she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge...in another moment down went Alice after it. And so the story goes... http://methus.smugmug.com/Queen-Mine/i-Kjgg6Vj - http://methus.smugmug.com/Queen-Mine/i-Kjgg6Vj ------------- Old and in the way so now it's time to play |

Very cool. Looking forward to meeting you and the fear sum three sum. I'll be posting some more photos and sending out some inquires as to places and/or events attendees might be interested in going to. We could also do some baked apples in the coals of the fire pit one evening. We usually core the apples, fill the core with brown sugar and a touch of "something for adults only" to help with the carmelization, wrap them in tinfoil, bake them in the coals & serve them with heavy cream...something yummy for the late evening tummy. ------------- Old and in the way so now it's time to play |

Hi Travis, Got your email. Sorry for the confusion, sent you an email with clarification. Hope this helps to put things in prospective. Now on an off topic subject, love that moose! It reminds me of a Jay Ward cartoon show called Rocky & Bulwinklee Show aka Rocky and His Friends.  Thanks, Bert ------------- Old and in the way so now it's time to play |

Thanks Travis...you're a prince among men. It's our pleasure to host the event. As per the email we'll gauge the interest for this event with an eye on the future. We know of a lake up in the "high country" with a nice campground in the pines, good fishing, easy access to other places like the South Rim of the Grand Caynon, BearArizona and eye dropping views of less traveled places like Sycamore Point...love to make that one happen. Oh well, we'll see. Thanks again Bert ------------- Old and in the way so now it's time to play |

I hope you guys who are going to Tombstone post write up's and photos of the event. I'd love to join you and go back to Tombstone again but its a little outside our range right now. Last time I was there the "boss" and I were bellied up to a bar, I think across from the Bird Cage, and this cowboy rode up on a horse no less and proceeded to "hit" on the wife! I was thinking how weird is this I'm in Tombstone and about to get in a bar fight with this cowboy. Luckily he staggered on down the street once the wife told him to buzz off.

We have 4 rigs, possibly 5, coming to our little soiree in Tombstone. Most folks staying 4 nights. We
can hold a "meet & greet" at our campsite on the 27th and discuss
"the happenings". There will be a potluck and we can use the indoor
rec. hall and kitchen facilities. We can also do a "dog night" and/or
hit one of the eateries in town, we don't have to drive as there is a
shuttle service from the RV Park into town courtesy of Janice & Rick
the Park owners) many options available to tickle everyone's fancy. Here's a list of possible things to do. I fully recognize that which winds one person's main spring will not make another person's clock go tick tock necessarily. So please feel free to suggest events and things to do that you find of interest. Anytime: Visit Tombstone and see the sights, Birdcage Theater, OK Coral gunfight, courthouse museum, Big Nose Kate's Saloon, Tombstone Epitaph News Paper & Museum. 1/2 day: Visit Bisbee & Lowell - eat at the Bisbee Breakfast Club, tour the town, take a tour of the Queen Mine. Much to see in town. Full day: Fort Bowie National Historic Site at Apache Pass where a 9 year war with the Apache's began over a misunderstanding about a captured white lad who became known as Mickey Free, Indian Scout. Full day: Chiricahua National Monument, a mountain refuge for Apache tribes led by Chochise and Geronimo from which they carried out their last major raids and attacks prior to their defeat in 1886. I've not visited this area. 1/2 day plus: Kartchner Caverns located in the Whetstone Mountains these caverns are carved from limestone and have speleothems that have been growing for 50,000 years. Personally I'm not much on caverns but this place blow me away. Must purchase tickets online, very popular attraction. SOOoooo! It's on! http://methus.smugmug.com/See-You-in-Tombstone/ - http://methus.smugmug.com/See-You-in-Tombstone/ ------------- Old and in the way so now it's time to play |
