Yep that's why when I went to Benson I sweated my fanny off,
Benson? No AC?
Great choices
Even in Florida it gets cold!

Until monsoon season.
@John Cooper were you there during 2021 summer that almost broke the record for rainfall?
No I was there back in 2007 or 2008
Delivered some steel product to the fertilizer plant.
Then rode down to Tombstone, so I could walk the street and say " I've been to Tombstone "

The Dairy Queens swamp cooler was wide open and no help, cup of ice would melt in just a few minutes

Same here.
I stopped by for about 15 minutes on the way to check out Bisbee. I’ve been way too close to not check it out, and it wasn’t any more than I expected since it’s built for tourism. Neat enough to see if your in the area, but that’s about it imo.

I ate in Bensen last time I went to Tombstone. I only drank in Tombstone.
Twice in the last three years.
Yea they work well when the humidity is low and are a cheaper method for cooling than AC, but they are worthless when it’s humid.
A DQ without AC seems a bit ironic. Smh
I only spent maybe 30 minutes in Tombstone and headed back home.
I want to go back and take my wife next time.
I drove through Benson, quickly walked through Tombstone, then checked out Bisbee and the big mining pit. I was in a friend’s muffin van (that’s what they call it), so I didn’t do any Jeep exploring.
Was there for work and visited every bar.
Was there for vacation and visited everything else.
I bet she’ll like Bisbee as well on a day trip along side Tombstone.
It’s just a cute little walk around artsy town where you’d never expect it to be. Cute little vibe that doesn’t belong in the desert. Nice little restaurants where you sit outside on a stone patio without many people around. The best part for me though was seeing the big mining pit just south of town. I like that stuff.
If you ever make it out, make sure to ask about other ideas so we can help provide you with more options (not worth overloading you on that right now)…and maybe we/I can crash your time with some comic relief

I sure will, it will be a year or so before it's possible.

It’s a former mining town that became a haven for artistic hippie types, then turned into a tourist attraction.
While there is a big ‘ol hole in the ground pit mine, the real attraction is the Copper Queen where you ride in a small gauge rail car down into the mine shaft.
Looks like the train runs at times between 9am and 3:30pm. I’ll add that to my list since I didn’t check the pit out until sunset.
Edit: That reminds me I need to check out the Titan Missile museum one of these days (down the 19 near Green Valley)
This is us on blm land(about a mile outside of tombstone)you have to watch the reenact of the ok corral,eat at big nosed Kate’s too,visit Boot Hill,then it’s time to go to Sedona .
