If you guys want a better drive with more scenery and curves...

Take I-10 to Hwy 83. Go south to Sonoita. Go east on Hwy 82. Then go south on Hwy 80 to Tombstone. Much better drive in my opinion. You can take the 80 through St David on the way back.

Tombstone is about as big as 4th Ave in Tucson. It looks bigger on a map. Everything can be had by foot. Boot hill is a little ways off. Also bring some cash. Most places cost a few bucks to see (tourist trap) but it's worth the small amount that charge.

Well run show. Parking & check in was fast, nice goodie bags and serialized license plates (in lieu of dash plaques)...

Just wanted to chime in here. It was really cool getting to meet some of you down in Tombstone on Saturday! Being down in that neck of the woods, I don't get up to Phoenix all that often. It will be nice to finally put a couple of faces with the names, er. handles.

Dave, it was good to talk with you and 6T8Pony there. Hope to meet up with you guys more often.
