After a little planning and some research, our plan was to ride past The Lakes at St. David to check out the campground, first thing. However, we saw a sign for Benson Donuts. I had read last night that they were rated very high. So that was our first stop. Not as good as Jerry’s Donuts in Rapid City but still very good. We did the drive by the Lakes. It looks like a nice place but still has a lot of work to go. Tombstone is only 15 minutes down the road so off we went.
We had Googled western wear shops and came up with several names and addresses. Historic Tombstone is about 2 blocks wide and only one street, Allen Street. We found The Branding Iron and after a lesson on cowboy hat materials we opted for a palm leaf hat. It’s light weight, can be moistened to keep you cool and can be easily cleaned. After our purchase we walked down one block and crossed the street and checked out the Tombstone Harley Davidson. We walked back up the street and checked out a few shops. We were getting hungry and Nancy Googled for the best restaurant. We actually were right across the street from Big Nose Kates. We could hear the wonderful music coming from inside and just had to check it out. After lunch we headed to Sierra Vista.
During our research last night we found that Fry’s actually carries Boar’s Head meats and cheeses. It turns out they also have a fuel station and a rewards system. It is owned by Kroger. There are many many familiar names on storefronts. It’s only 35 minutes from St. David. It’s nice to see all these.
