Fruit trees, Desert Oasis, Eloy, AZ

A few more shots of Tombstone, AZ






We spent the night in Eloy, AZ at a beautiful campground ..... The Desert Oasis.  The owner had planted lemon, orange and grapefruit trees for the overnight guests to pick all you want.    The  lemons were ripe to pick and the camp host said the oranges and grapefruit would be ready in November and December.










Rosemary bushes planted all over park

Benson and Tombstone

Day 9

Sept 27

We spent the night in Benson, AZ, 40 miles from Tucson in the Pato Blanco Lakes RV park.   Pretty little lakes in this park.






Enjoy seeing different types of cactus!




Love this RV Park,  feathered friends!





This afternoon we drove  on to Tombstone, AZ.  It was one of the last wide open frontier boomtowns in the American old west.  It is best known for the gunfight at the O.K. Corral.  We saw some neat looking characters.

Texas, New Mexico and Arizona

Day 7 and 8

Sept 25 and 26

Yesterday morning we left Boerne, Texas on Hwy 10 heading west.   It was a day of driving instead of sight seeing.  It is amazing how the landscape changes along the way.  I saw about ten deer standing up on a cliff, couldn't get the camera out fast enough to snap a photo.









We stayed last night at the Mountain View RV park in Van Horn, Texas.  
                                     





And we drove through New Mexico and into Arizona today.  I had never been to New Mexico.  We ate some good barbeque in El Paso.  This city is huge.





We stopped at a souvenir shop in New Mexico to buy a Christmas ornament.  We collect them during our travels and it is sure fun to reminisce when we decorate the tree.  The front  of the store was pretty neat!








Tonight we are staying 40 miles from Tucson, AZ.

Boyd hadn't been to San Antonio in 48 years.  The Riverwalk wasn't built.  I came in the 80's and have great memories.  It is located in the down town area with its beautiful land scape of native plants.  It provides entertainment, dining, theater, shopping in a beautiful setting.





The food was delicious....mexican!















The Alamo is a worldwide attraction, where tourists want to see the old mission where Texans stood their ground and fought.  Many lost their lives, including Davey Crockett.  





Tomorrow will be a day of driving across Texas!
