Westward Ho--Spring 2010--Day 5

Today was a day to relax and not do much of anything. Did take Buddy out to walk a few times. This gets us out and about and gives a chance to meet up with the other RV friends we have met over the years. Like many RV Parks they have a large fenced area that the dogs can be let off their leash to run and play. This one actually has grass. (Out here in the desert you don't see much grass on the ground since most of the time water is rationed and it takes a lot of water to keep grass green. Most yards are covered in gravel.)

This evening we went out to a place called Trail Dust Town. It is a very touristy area, made up to look an old western town. They do have a fine steakhouse and that was the reason for going. This is located on the northeast side of Tucson. Throughout the place there are men's ties hanging from the walls and ceiling. If you walk in with a tie on they will ceremoniously cut it off, put your name on it and staple it to a beam. (Many people intentionally wear an old time in just to have it cut off.) We had been there in October 2006, the last time we were in Tucson, and the food was just as good as we remembered it.

After dinner we wandered over to the stunt show area to see their production. They put on a pretty cheesy show several times each evening. They play it more for the laughs than for dramatic essence. It was a fun show of about 20 minutes with many prat falls. Kind of like the Three Stooges with sidearms. We did enjoy the show and it gave us a little diversion for the evening.
