Tombstone, Arizona

One of the well-known towns in Arizona is Tombstone.  The gunfight at the O.K. Corral is re-enacted every day.  But even more interesting than the town is the Boothill Cemetery where many of the famous locals are buried.

Bisbee, Arizona and the Queen Mine

Back in Arizona after 9 months, stopped in Bisbee, Arizona, well-known mining town.  The mining here ended in 1975 due to the drop in copper prices.  Tourism now drives this town, you can take a tour the Queen Mine.  The tour was quite amazing, riding a little train 750 feet into the mine where a former miner explains how they mined copper, silver and gold out of the mine.  We also were able to view an open mine right outside the town.

Albuquerque, New Mexico

Old Town Albuquerque, New Mexico is home to a Spanish mission which was founded in 1706.  There is a lovely town square and lots of old world charm, as well as shopping opportunities.  You can also drive on part of old Route 66 and see some buildings with old-fashioned neon signs.  The RV park where we stayed had some vintage campers from that you could stay in for the night.  Very cool looking.
