More travel, more towns

Well, just for a complete picture of our travels, I must tell you on our way to Bisbee, we had to travel through Tombstone once again. It seemed like a very good location to take a break, and we just so happen to remember Big Nose Kate's had fresh beer on tap. Since we only wanted to stop for one, I ordered their 'Big Ass Beer' frozen mug for Diane and myself. It was a nice cold 32 ounce mug of Fat Tire. Tasty mighty tasty.

Before we left Bisbee, Diane checked into a gift store that specialized in ghost tools. These are devices to find or ward off ghosts. The two people working in the store had tattoos on their foreheads of some type of Gaelic symbol. Of course Diane is asking them all sorts of questions, I waited outside and made sure we always had an open escape route for a quick departure if needed. After that inspiring visit, and after we left Douglas, we decided we should see if we could drive through one of the many ghost towns that exist in this part of the country. We don't like to follow the same roads, so this seemed like a good idea to run a different route. Well, the maps and travel books were lacking some details, and many of the roads lack effective signage so we headed in what we thought was the right direction. Well, over an hour later we ended up in Tombstone without seeing anything that could possibly be interpreted as a ghost town. But maybe Diane should of bought some ghost tools in Bisbee. Maybe we traveled through them without seeing them. Maybe needed special glasses or something. Kind of like when I was still at work, many used rose colored glasses to hide the nitty gritty details no one wanted to deal with :-)
On to Tucson Saturday afternoon to watch the playoff game, but mostly have a few Tilted Kilt beers in the hotel bar. We stayed in Tucson Saturday night and checked out just in time to head to the hotel bar for some more play off action. Wanted to watch Brett prance around in that ugly purple colored uniform.
