Every day

 

 

This meet just gets bigger every year with cars coming from Arizona, New Mexico, California, Nevada, maybe Utah, Oklahoma and Colorado!  If you're wondering if it is worth the trip, take a look at the photos from 2008 and 2009...you will sign up immediately.

ACCOMMODATIONS: The Trail Rider's Inn (13 N 7th St, 520-457-3573) will serve as HQ for the event, but it was sold out a year ago.  However, below are some hotels that are still avaiiable -- those with an asterisk are within staggering distance of town and the Trail Riders Inn.

FRI 11/12 - ARRIVAL - Many folks will arrive on November 13th, Friday afternoon. If you are arriving after 7:00PM, please let your hotel know (many of the smaller motels do NOT have evening staff, so they will leave your key for you).  When you arrive, explore the town on your own.  Discover Big Nose Kate's and the Crystal Palace.  Have your pictures taken in western wear at Sadie Jo's Old west Photo Studio.  Relax, meet old friends and make some new ones.  The Clanton's will be in town this weekend as it is their annual pilgrimage to Tombstone as well, and their events are open to everyone. We understand that the Choir Boys (retired mortorcycle police officers) will be in town as well.

FRI 11/12- 7:00 PM - DINNER - We will be dining at Johnny Ringo's Bar and The Depot Steakhouse located at 60 South 10th Street in Tombstone AZ.  We have reservations and they will be offering our group a special on their Rib Eye dinner for $16.00.  You may order anything else off the menu.  Bring your room key as they offer 10% off for people staying in the vicinity.  You may want to check with your hotel to ensure that this is true of each hotel.  Be sure to come hungry!!  We will be delivering the 2010 Tombstone T-shirts at dinner. The T-shirts are still under design and we will send you and order form as soon as theyare ready to be ordered.  After dinner we will be staying at Johnny Ringo's for our Poker Tournament, and for those not ready to play poker, you may wish to play different kinds of card games or even Mexican Train with dominoes.

SAT 11/13 -7:00A-1:00PM - CAR SHOW - Saturday morning will dawn early as we plan to park our cars on the street at 7:00AM.  Cars will be judged and awards given at High Noon. You need to stay in the vicinity, and the cars must be off the street by 1:00 PM.

SAT 11/13 1:00PM  For those who choose to stay in Tombstone, lunch will be on your own.  Continue to explore Tombstone, or take a drive out to Kartchner Caverns.  (some of the caves are closed this year due to Bat Research)  If you choose to "hang out" in the Tombstone area, you might  check into the Fairbank Ghost town located at 2679 N. Old Fairbank Road at Hwy 82 eight miles west of Tombstone.  Perhaps you would enjoy a trip to the Boothill Graveyard to look at all of the old tombstones still there.  The OK Corral has "The Main Event" at 3rd street and Allen.  This will show the gunfight at the OK Corral from the Clanton's perspective. Tombstone Courthouse Historic Park might be a nice way to while away the hours for a minimal fee of $4.00.  The Tombstone Epitaph Museum or the Bird Cage Theater Museum are also delightful alternatives for the afternoon.

Sat 11/13 1:00PM - Vines and Wines Ride - Arizona wines have recently fared very well in some blind professional tastings and the Elgin area is one of the best for wine in our state.  You will have the opportunity to drive a beautiful road on the way to three family owned vineyards, beginning with the Village of Elgin Winery .  There you will obtain your glass to be used at the other two wineries...the glass says something like "Elgin sells wine; Napa sells auto parts".  We will move on to the Keif-Joshua winery and end at the Callaghan Vineyards in time to drive carefully back to Tombstone well before the BBQ dinner.  Tastings at each winery run between $3.00-$5.00 for 4-9 different wines. 

SAT 11/13 6:00PM - DINNER - We will be having our traditional Tombstone BBQ at the Trail Riders Inn Saturday night beginning at 6:00PM.  The cost is $12.00 per person.  There is always plenty to eat, so come hungry!  Be sure to find Debbie at the car show to pay for your meal.  We will be having a tequila tasting after dinner, so be sure to bring your favorite bottle of tequila to share.

SAT 11/13 10:30 - Ghost Walk???   We have as yet been unable to determine whether the Clanton's will be in town the same week we are.  They have two different weekends posted on their website.  We will keep you posted as the date draws nearer.

SUN 11/14 10:00 AM - BREAKFAST - We will gather at The Longhorn restaurant  for our Happy Trails breakfast.  After breakfast we will be parting ways, so as always, have a safe and uneventful trip home.....Happy Trails!!!
