Day 3783

 I woke up at 7 and played games until 7:30.  Then it was up for breakfast.  After that we started to get ready to leave.  Everything went smoothly until I tried to hook up.  The hitch wasn't perfectly aligned and I hadn't raised the trailer enough.  These combined to getting the hitch hung up on the guard.  It was only half closed and wouldn't close the rest of the way.

I tried backing up, going forward, raising the hitch, and lowering it nothing worked.  I finally managed to raise one side of the trailer enough to pull the hitch open.  That allowed me to unhitch.  From there I managed to hook up fairly easily.  It took a long time to do this, but we were still on the road before 9.

The drive to Tombstone was uneventful.  One great thing was that once we got to I10 we had a tail wind all of the way.  We ended up doing 12.1 mpg for the whole trip.  That was offset a little by paying $5.89 for 10 gallons near the Arizona border.  I probably didn't need the fuel, but I wanted to buy peace of mind.

Thanks to gaining an hour we made it to Tombstone before 2.  Ellen has us at a park a mile outside of Tombstone.  It's OK, but I'm disappointed that we aren't staying where we did before.  As soon as we were done setting up we went into town.  The tourist part hasn't changed much, but there's a lot more development in the rest of the town.  There are new hotels, RV parks, and restaurants.

I got my two miles in walking the town.  The only thing we bought was a t-shirt at a Trump store for John.  Eventually we made it back to the park.  I took Abby on a walk around the park while Ellen sat on the can.

After leftovers for dinner I watched videos, had a nap, and watched more videos.  Eventually I got bored and surfed for the rest of the evening.
