Camping trip to Tombstone

This week we took a little motorcycle trip from Coolidge to Tombstone.  We camped two nights at a great RV park - the stars were spectacular!

On Wednesday we had a great ride - we made a 230 mile loop.  We went through Bisbee, home to the Queen Copper Mine.  The mine closed in 1975, but had run continuously for 100 years before that.  It's a charming little town in the mountains of Southeastern Arizona.

We rode through Douglas (just a few miles from the Mexican border - there is a Border Patrol presence everywhere), and then on to the Chiricahua National Monument.  This is an inactive volcanic range, called "Sky Islands" rising out of the desert.  It was beautiful.  We checked out the campground - it would be a nice place to camp, but with no electric hookups would be a little chilly at night!

Then we rode to Wilcox, through Benson, and back to our RV site just outside of Tombstone.  It was one of our better rides, the weather was perfect, and the scenery beautiful.

Our RV site - we're set up and having wine!

We didn't take the hike, this is just a file photo from the website!
