Tombstone and Bisbee, AZ

---

Hello from southeast Arizona. It is cold here still. It will be down in the teens tonight. Anyway, we got up and drove to Bisbee first. It is a neat historical town that started as a mining camp. Pretty high elevation of about 5200 feet. Kind of a hippy town with alot of coffee and antique shops.
From there we went back north to Tombstone, also one that started as a mining camp but of course most famous for the gunfight that occurred on October 26th, 1881 between the Earp's and four of the "cowboys" who lost. It is also a tourist trap but fun. We saw a re-enactment of the gunfight which they do daily. We also saw the actual site of the fight which was in a space the size of a 2 car garage at an average range of a few feet and lasted about 30 seconds.
We are back at the motorhome now and tomorrow the plan is to get all the way to El Paso if I don't whiz out in the driving department.

My nephew teaches art at the local community college in Bisbee. Did you see him? Happy New Year! It looks like you are headed to that nice 80 degree weather in Tampa.
