Next month, the Lost Dutchman Chapter #5917 + 4 of E Clampus Vitus will be holding its Spring Clampout at Tombstone, Arizona.
I am looking forward to this as I haven't been to Tombstone since the summer of 1988.

We will be encamped in town in a big field within walking distance of the town's historical area.
Tombstone is roughly 426 miles from home, essentially a day's drive. Along the way, depending how early I am able to get on the road, I might cruise by John Wayne's Arizona cattle ranch, the 26 Bar Ranch near Eagar, Arizona. It is now owned by the Hopi Tribe. If I can't make it there while en route to to Tombstone, I'll cruise by on the way home.

After the clampout, I will be heading to Old Tucson. It is about 70 miles from Tombstone and my only opportunity for visiting is on Sunday as it is only open Thursdays through Sundays. I have never been there before. Rio Bravo (1959) and El Dorado (1966) were filmed there.
This should make for a very fun trip!
