Haven't posted in awhile but we have been busy and the main reason is we misplaced the camera so with no pictures why post. Gloria and I took a ride to Old Town Scottsdale. Some nice stores and John Wayne took a shine to Gloria

On the 18th we went with Dwight and Donna to Tombstone. We met up with Larry and Carol there.

  We took in a Comedy Western Gunfight show that was entertaining.

We had lunch in the Long Branch Saloon and walked the walk that Wyatt Earp and his brothers took to get to the OK Corral. We did not go to the OK Corral Show as it was getting late and we had other places we wanted to hit. Our next stop was Boot Hill. It was not safe in Tombstone in 1881. There are very few people there that did not die a violent death.

After we left Tombstone we headed to Bisbee.

Going through town I found out Gloria has been holding out on me.

There is an old open pit copper mine on the out skirts of town that we looked at.

On the 19th Dwight and I went to the Arizona Big Ale Fest. When we left the temp was in the high 60's and it was a nice day. I did not bring a jacket. On the way to Phoenix the first thing that happened was a sand storm that can really slow up traffic.

By the time we got into Phoenix the temperature dropped to the very low 50's and it started to rain. Since I did not have a jacket, it was miserable. Donna and Gloria went shopping and were waiting for us to call. I did not last long. It's a shame as there were some very good beers there.  Even Dwight was cold.
