Greetings from Tombstone

[bear tooth billy]

Jenny and I have been here for over a week and will be for another 5 weeks, lots of fun dressing up in our NCOWS finest and walking around town. Several people remember me from 6 years ago. Usually carry my 73 Winchester, Colt frontier six shooter, and Sharp's derringer. What a blast, will see more historical sites around the area.

So much to see and do there! Going east, make a trip, and a hike, to Ft. Bowie in the Chiricahuas, and swing through Rustler's Park while you're there. Bisbee is worth a visit, and have lunch at the Copper Queen. Going west, the Steakout in Sonoita is a great place for dinner. The area around Sonoita, Elgin and Empire Ranch has featured in a bunch of great westerns, including Red River, Tombstone, Gunsmoke (the movie), etc. If the border is under control, there are several ghost towns west of the Huachuca Mtns (Mowry, Harshaw, Doquesne to name 3) worth a side trip, and you will probably be the only ones there. The ranch house from McLintock is in Douquesne. That side of the mountains is high rolling grassland, completely unlike Tombstone. Last time I was there in 2019, the boarder was crazy and the ghost towns were pretty much off limits. Wish I could join you!

If you are .MIL, there is a good museum on Ft. Huachuca.  Though you will have to leave your guns in your Hotel.
