Enjoying bird song and greening trees (but no shoot-outs) in Tombstone, AZ

 March 21, Tombstone, AZ

I've not kept up, and tomorrow evening we are flying home from Phoenix. With my track record of finishing blog entries from trips later at home I better try to catch up before we leave. It's 9:30 in the morning, and I'm sitting on the porch of our small cabin at the 'Stampede RV park B&B where we spent the last two nights. It's still cool in the shade, but the sun is shining from a bright blue sky, and there is hope that it'll be warmer here today than it has been in the last few days. We won't know since we'll be on our way towards Tucson where it will be quite a bit warmer anyway because of its lower elevation. One more day of hiking and exploring before we'll return to more wintery weather in Alberta ....

 Just now I heard the familiar 'clop-clop' of horses' hooves and, looking up, saw a stage coach drive by on its way into town. We won't see any live action, however, since we'll be on the road in an hour or so. All we saw of Tombstone were the dusty mainstreet flanked by buildings of a typical Western town when we walked the planked boardwalk early this morning. Here are a few more impressions from this famous town.
