Tombstone Arizona for lunch at Big Nose Kate's

Where are we today ?

St David Resorts Arizona.

      Another great sunny day, such typical Arizona weather. So a few walkabouts the resort this morning enjoying the fresh air. Temps in the high 70's.

This T shirt has very good advice

        Our friend Ron has Freddy out for his morning run beside his bike. 35 kph (21 mph), Freddy is pulling him, downhill.

Ron is hanging on

Freddy even pulling him uphill

           Now saturday mornings they have fresh baked cinnamon or Pecan rolls here at 9 am. So gotta have a rare treat

we shared it, yummy

          Now because we are so close (16 miles) just had to take a short trip into Tombstone, for a bit of a fix of the old west. It is a tourist trap yes, but with the right mindset we have fun here. We have been here many times before and still have fun. Just wander down the boardwalk, taking in the sites and sounds. Cowboys walking about, stage coaches, a few shady lady's here and there and lots of restaurants and stores for souvenirs and such.
          Maybe check out a few places, chat with a couple cowboys here and there. They try to sell you tickets for their gunfights at different loctaions. Over the years think we have seen it all but still reminds me of those old western movies.

         The main reason we came to town was to meet Ron and Loree at Big Nose Kate's Saloon for lunch. Just love the atmosphere of this cowboy bar. Live entertainment, Big Ass Cold beer and one of the Goldie's Overstuffed Reubens is the draw for me.

        Now the host here can get you dressd up for fun pictures.

         Now this is what we came for and did not disappoint, no supper tonight!

       A few more people posing for fun photos, right beside our table.

               Now down the circular staircase into the shaft, we were treated with a few colorful stories of ghosts and characters of the past. They distracted our wife's while the Madame here tried to drum up some business here with Ron and I.

      We were told interesting stories of this silver mine dug in the basement by the original caretaker in the 1880's.

          Now we had all this fun for the price of a very tasty filling lunch and beverage for under $35.00 including a generous tip. It helps that we have two weeks camping here with no overnight fees.
          Then time to head back to camp and enjoy our books for a while, on this beautiful day. Soon a fun Happy Hour with our friends for a while sharing stories, tips and discussing future plans for this winter.
           No supper tonight, we fed up!

A hard day in the desert see ya later

        Thanks for stopping by and wandering about Tombstone with us today, did we have fun? You betcha, hope you did too.
