There are 5 tours a day starting at 9 and 10:30am. Then we could head back to Tombstone for sightseeing and dinner.

Road trip and show is a go for us. We will be going down Saturday morning to meet up for the journey.

We just made room reservations, in case anyone wants to know, they will take dogs at Hampton Inn... Requirements for that was have to be on 2nd floor in a room with 2 queen beds.

If you guys want a better drive with more scenery and curves...

Take I-10 to Hwy 83. Go south to Sonoita. Go east on Hwy 82. Then go south on Hwy 80 to Tombstone. Much better drive in my opinion. You can take the 80 through St David on the way back.

Thanks, will do!

If we're on Hiway 82, we can see the ghost town of Fairbank.

Google map of Tombstone (bigger than than I thought it was):

Tombstone is about as big as 4th Ave in Tucson. It looks bigger on a map. Everything can be had by foot. Boot hill is a little ways off. Also bring some cash. Most places cost a few bucks to see (tourist trap) but it's worth the small amount that charge.

[Jacostang]

Cool beans! I forgot about Fairbanks! Thanks for the tip P, should be fun had one more sign up Marvin and Alyssa coming now too!

[HanksGT]

Well run show. Parking & check in was fast, nice goodie bags and serialized license plates (in lieu of dash plaques)...

[hammerdown]

Just wanted to chime in here. It was really cool getting to meet some of you down in Tombstone on Saturday! Being down in that neck of the woods, I don't get up to Phoenix all that often. It will be nice to finally put a couple of faces with the names, er. handles.

Dave, it was good to talk with you and 6T8Pony there. Hope to meet up with you guys more often.

[hammerdown]

Oops, Double post.
