Shoot Out
Arena RV Park
Tombstone
Arizona
Leaving
Bottomless Lake State Park this morning at 7:40 am in a drizzly rain, we headed
out on US 380 towards Roswell NM. I topped up our tank in Roswell before
carrying on. Within a few miles we were in clear blue skies for the rest of the
day.
Next, we took
US 70 thru the Mescalero Reservation, this is a beautiful drive thru forest and
mountains reaching close to 7900 ft. in elevation. There is a section of this
highway that you would swear you are going downhill, but actually you are
climbing.

Continuing on
US 70/54, then US 70 past the White Sands National Park to Las Cruces NM, where we got
on Interstate 10 west. We stayed on that all the way to Benson AZ then turned
south on US 80, bring us to Tombstone.
We are parked
in a $10 a night boondocking RV park. Tomorrow will be a no driving day as we
walk the streets of Tombstone, you never know we just might run into Doc
Holiday and Wyatt Earp.
Pat may not
get hers written tonight so check it out here
in the morning.
Thanks for
stopping by, until the next time.
Happy to hear you’ve made it!

Thanks Deb, happy to be here for a couple of days. Heading towards Pilot Knob and our trip into Mexico, then up to Quartzsite.
DeleteBill if you and Pat come along Interstate 10 thru Buckeye AZ there is a NEW Costco along side the freeway at Verrado Way Exit 120 going West. It would be an easy exit and lots of parking if you need to stock up for Quartzsite. It just opened about 6 months ago. Its on the South side of the freeway and easily seen. Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip.
DeleteThanks Bill, I am sure homesick for the Southwest. And yes, that drive on 380/70 from Roswell to Alamagordo through the Apache Pass is a dandy. One of my favs. We traveled that 380 route a number of times and if I had my druthers, we would be out there traveling it right now......
ReplyDeleteYour welcome Al, I'm sure you are homesick for the southwest. Once we got this route, I realized that we had taken it once before and enjoyed it as much then. i sure wish for you that you could be out here travelling it again.
DeleteI was wondering why you were headind so far south. I guess you have things to do in Mexico. Enjoy your visit to Tombstone.
ReplyDeleteThanks Doug, had a short but nice visit in Tombstone. Hoping we are only one day in Mexico for glasses and dental care. Then on to Quartzsite.
