Tombstone - March 3, 2012

We made the long ride to Tombstone and back in one day.  Not again!  We left Queen Valley, traveling south through Florence along the Pinal Pioneer Parkway to Oro Valley and I10.  You go east on I10 to Benson and then south to Tombstone.  We came back to I10 and traveled east and then north to Safford - Globe - Superior and home.  We got to see the beautiful Gila Valley Temple as we passed through Safford Valley.

    Dad told me that was a long ride for you. Hope you are feeling better. Looks like you saw some neat things though.
