Las Cruces - Tucson

A couple of days in Las Cruces - we went back to see the White Sands Missile Base - had to produce our passports to get on the base & the day was freezing, literally.

USA Squd Buster

Part of the White Sands Misslle Park.

This is where they tested the atom bomb before setting it off at Hiroshima.


Later it warmed up a bit and we went to Melissa Old Town, where Billy the Kid hung out and had some authentic Mexican food.

Next day we headed out towards Tucson and back in Arizona, cruising into Lazy Days RV Park which is a huge set up with sales, services, repairs, campground.....  


Following day we mucked around doing laundry and catching up on the good stuff like cleaning.....
In the afternoon we went out and decided to head for Old Tucson Studios, which turned out to be the old movie sets for many westerns such as OK Coral, The Gambler, Young Guns II, Alamo, Bonanza, The Three Amigo's....etc.  We watched the musical of the silver screen thru the years and the gunfight before heading up 'Gates Pass' to watch the sun set - really magical but brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Movie sets for some famous old movies.
