Tombstone has a special place in my heart. For years, a group of us has helped local ranchers and AZ Game and Fish on Adopt-A-Ranch projects. Nice to learn some history and how hard these guys work. As a side benefit, they tend to keep more gates open for outdoor enthusiasts. Another benefit was getting to know the owner of the Rose Tree Inn. Ended up getting married there and had our reception at Big Nose Kate's Saloon.

Very early, I got to Tombstone at 9 AM when everything was opening up. It was a long day out on the road, I spent about 2 hours in Tombstone before heading through Bisbee. From Bisbee I went up US191 to Safford, US70 to Globe, SR77 along the Gila to Winkleman, SR177 to Superior and finally the US60 home. I travel for a living and love heading out to the open road and these historic old towns, I have a soft spot for Oatman and Route 66 especially. I've done pretty much every road in the state this year. Basically I have the Navajo Nation and the Coronado Trail left to go for a complete the Arizona roundtrip.
