December 18th Update

After a week at Hidden Valley Ranch north of Deming it was time to leave and head toward Arizona.  We took our time and saw some sites.  Here are a few photos.

North of Deming about 30 miles is a unique site.  An outcropping of rocks pushed up that gives the appearance of a small city. Thus the name City of Rocks.  To give some perspective of thier size.  The small white objects to the left of April's right shoulder (to her left as you look at the picture) is an RV park.


About 150 miles west from here we got to Tombstone, Arizona.  Here is historic downtown where the gunfight at the OK corral took place.


They re-enact the gunfight throughout the day.  Here are some of the characters roaming the streets.


In the 1800's if they were bad actors they would end up in the tombstone courthouse. This the actual courthouse where you can find the sherifs office and jail.


If they got this far they may end up in this courtroom.  The actual courtromm complete with original judges bench and attorney benches, rails and seats.


Of course if it didn't work out well for the defendants they would end up here.  (seven were hung here).


Here are some famous characters from then.


Well it was off toward Casa Grande.  Here is a photo near old Tucson.  It is interesting to see the different types of vegetation you can see in the desert.
