Arizona

My sister and her family are in town -- that is to say, they are on this continent.   They went to visit our mother & brother in Arizona, so I went down to visit with them.   We went around southern Arizona & also to the Grand Canyon.

On the way to Tombstone we stopped in a ghost town, Fairbank, which as it happened, had a gift store.   The person there was delighted to see Guy -- the perfect Father Christmas.  :-)

The buildings were still there, though not quite what we would want to live in today ...

One of the big holes in the ground that we saw was an old mine.   The water in the bottom is probably pretty toxic, but it was an interesting sight just the same.
