BENSON, TOMBSTONE AND BISBEE, AZ








Arrived in Benson, AZ about 1 hr before the Demarte's and Hollowdell's got here. Decided that any day we travel we should eat out so headed for a little Italian place in Benson. On Wednesday we split up and Joe, Denis and Pat went to the Karchner Caverns, Kay and I went to see Bisbee. (We were very disappointed in that town, not worth the trip). I did get a picture of the baseball field that Critch played in when he was with the farm team for Pittsburg in 1940. He enjoyed seeing those pictures.

We then met up with Joe, Denis and Pat in Tombstone, had a fun lunch in a wild west saloon, took a stagecoach ride and walked up and down the streets. It is well worth the trip there and enjoyed the history of the town.
The wind starting coming up while we were in Tombstone and got pretty tired of getting dust in our eyes etc. BUT, getting back to the RV in Benson, I have never been in such a terrible wind storm. They actually have High wind warnings out for traveling so we have decided to see what it is like in the early morning to get out and head for El Paso. We plan on about 270 miles tomorrow but the wind is supposed to be bad again by 10AM. They are saying the winds are gusting at 60 mph and this coach is rocking like crazy. I ended up putting the bedroom slide in so hopefully I can get some sleep tonight without to much noise. (sleeping pill tonight!) More when we get to El Paso!!!
