Tucson Az Run 4-18/19-08 Day 7-8

On Friday 4-18-08, we decided to run down to Tombstone & spend the night. We had to meet Dale prior to departing for Tombstone.The photo is of Bill & Dale when we met up..REMEMBER: if ya want to see it bigger, click on the picture.
The Ranch House Lounge in Sonoita Az.

Going to Tombstone we made a left turn onto the road to Tombstone in a little place called Sonoita. We gassed up there & then went across the highway
to the Ranch House Lounge for liquid refreshments and food. Pic is Dale, Bill & me out front of the Ranch house.

Bill & I on the swings by the restrooms..I figured it wouldn't hold my 270 lbs, but it did, much to everyones surprise.

Supported Bill too!! But then again he must weight 165 or so....


A stagecoach passes by...A lot of people were dressed up like cowboys and women like saloon girls and cowgirls. They even had a guy like Elvis wandering around and Doc Holliday & the Earps and the Clanton's in one of the bars.



We ate at the Longhorn Restaurant.
