Ramsey Canyon, east of Sierra Vista by Hereford is one of those beautiful escapes where the creek was still running and the last of the hummingbirds are deciding whether to stay for the winter. It's a place to just go, take a book, sit in the shade and wait for the hummingbirds to come to the feeders. Sounds like heaven to me. I don't know if Artur could sit that long.
We went for a short walk with Armando and discovered an old log cabin and another long deserted house in the woods. The weather here is just the perfect temperature for wandering but still too warm for intense hiking. Maybe we'll come back in December so that we can also see the snow on the tops of the mountains surrounding the area.
Last Sunday they had "Helldorado" in Tombstone. To me that sounds like a nutty thing to do on Sunday but Art and Armando went to find no parking spaces and the town just packed. They did manage to find a spot on the outskirts of town and walked in to watch the parade. Of course the bars and restaurants were too crowded so they were home within 2 hours. Tombstone is a nice place to visit during the week when it's not too busy. I love the food and according to a couple who own a ranch in the area, you can't find bad food in Tombstone.
So after exhausting all possible tourist attractions, we decided to take Armando to the "Times Square" of Benson for a banana split at the local dairy bar. At 6PM the Amtrack train rolled into town which added to the flair of Benson. The simple things are always the best!
Speaking of simple things! We watched the full mom come up over the stronghold the other night. It was magnificent!
On Wednesday we drove down Mescal Rd as far as the Cadillac would take us. Next time we're taking the truck. There's a beautiful ranch near the Rincon Peak and many more trails to explore.
Armando is leaving for "cold" Ohio again on Saturday. One comfort, he's going to visit his brother in Mexico for Christmas. Should be warm there also.
