We have spent the last week exploring the Benson area. We started out by driving down to the old wild west town of Tombstone of Doc Holiday and OK corral fame. We toured the old Tombstone Courthouse which is now a museum and other historic buildings. There were also several attractions there like a reenactment of the shootout at OK corral and gunfight shows. Of course, they charge admission to watch these shows. We also went to the Kartchner Caverns State Park. These are probably some of the best preserved caves in the world. The guys that discovered the caverns kept them secret until they could have them designated as a State Park.
There is also a Meritage homes family development here that we visited. Southern Arizona is a big retirement area and we have begun to think about maybe moving here in the future. The Cincinnati Reds moved their spring training facility here a couple of years ago from Tampa, Florida and the Cleveland Indians also have spring training at the same ballpark.
