Marty's Travels

My house has wheels

Tombstone

One of my all-time favorite places to visit. It’s world-class birdwatching, I always enjoy the town of Tombstone, and the RV park I’m in is one of the best I’ve stayed in.

Tombstone Territories RV Park is extremely popular and fills up (100 spaces) regularly this time of year. I pulled in on a gamble, and discovered they’d let me park in storage and wait until a space came up. For $20 a night. This matches the highest rate I ever paid for dry camping, in Ventura, CA, backed up against the Pacific Ocean. That experience was worth the $20, and this one is too.

The park is on a high spot and has a 360 degree view of the desert. The dry-camp/storage area is on the fringe of the place, and has a 180 degree view with absolutely no man-made objects to be seen.

I’m backed up into the mesquite and a rag-tag collection of grasses and brush, with just a touch of the pastel green of Spring. The perfect environment for birds, and who knows what other critters.

Here for a few days while I take a look at the canyons.
