On Friday Kirk and I went to Old Tucson, which has been the desert filming location for many (over 100) western movies and TV shows since 1939. It is a replica western town and includes many buildings along with some fun live shows and things to do, including a museum that had displays from the many movies and shows filmed there. We saw a "medicine show" which was funny, a dancing girls show in the "hotel", rode the miniature railroad and a stage coach, had BBQ for lunch which was pricey and not that great. We also toured the "haunted" mine and shot some stuff in the shooting gallery. There were quite a few people there, including some groups of kids (school was out Thursday and Friday for the rodeo parade and rodeo). We spent over 4 hours there and had a good time. Joe and Nancy were busy looking at fifth wheel campers while we did this. They ended up buying one on Saturday so we will be staying here a few more days until they can pick it up on Wednesday. Then we will head to Elephant Butte Lake in New Mexico until the end of March. We had planned on going to the Grand Canyon yesterday but they had over 2 feet of snow so we postponed that trip until the end of March.
