Benson, ARIZONA @ Kartchner Caverns 3/23 - 3/26/17

OFF to Benson with LEAD: RON AND FRANNIE; and KAREN and LARRY meet up with us, trailing us on the road, traveling to Kartchner State Park where we are welcome at the front gate!

We toured the Cavern during the Twilight Show with 2.4 miles of passages.  Thank you to the landowners: James and Lois Kartchner.  The Tenen and Tufts discovered the cave and then spent several years of developing and protecting the cave.  Although a lengthy process the public is rewarded with access to the Secret Cave.
What a great hike and exploration!












1879  TOMBSTONE town was a notorious stagecoach stop and a great lunch stop in San Pedro Valley where the river runs North--drains from the state of Sonora, Mexico.  We are on our way to the Queen Mine caverns, in the quaint town of Bisbee, Arizona
