Deja Vous Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Yeah, I know I just passed Christmas, New years, and Easter lol... Every year I have come home for the summer to spend time with my father. This year, I am here, so now I need some thing to do with my time off. They MAKE us take at least one full week, the rest I can split up. So, gosh where would be really cool, where I can take guns and shoot and maybe camp and ghost town... I dont ask for much, huh? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooky Joe, SASS #24061 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 No question. Tombstone. You can shoot, walk the streets heeled in your cowboy clothes. Visit the nearby ghost towns of Gleeson and Fairbanks, as well as the old cenuries abandoned indian diggings. Great weather and even greated people to shoot with. Shoot at the Tombstone livery or with the Tombstone Buscaderos on a working cattle ranch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
