Hi everyone,  Sorry, didn't post last night.  It was a travel day.  We were in Tucson yesterday.  The 1st picture is a neat shot of the colorado river in the mountains 2nd shot - Al ordered a mexican shrimp cocktail at LaFuente rest. in Tucson.  It was huge with about 20 shrimp and very delicious.La Fuente was an excellent mexican restaurant and had a mexican group of musicians who would entertain the tables.  3rd shot Al, beside a sonora cactus.  Those things are huge.  4th dust storm in tucson. This dust is finer than the sand in Death Valley, it gets everywhere. 6th our waitress in tombstone. 
Tombstone is worth the trip if you like the west, about 50% of the people dress the part.  The town is huge and transports you back to the 1881 town including the Gunfight at the OK Corral.  The whole town is unbelieveable.  You walk block after block after block of saloons, restaurants, sheriff office, stores, courthouse, all depicting the Old West.  Also, there are many ghost towns within 30 miles.
My question is, why would all these towns pop up in this desolate part of the world.  It has to be the mining, as this is not good grazing land.  It is all scrub desert.  The wind was blowing hard and many times the dust was so bad you couldn't see down the road.  Also there is tumbleweed everywhere.  There are signs on the interstate stating that the dust gets so bad in areas that there is zero visibility.
All that said, this is a place I would definitely not mind visiting again. We left as the nightly entertainment was starting.  This town does not sleep.  A lot of border police here as we are not too far from Mexico.
On the road again, in a town called lordsburg.
