March 3 2013 ATV,Fairbank Townsite and more

Thursday we went with others on a ATV ride and we had a great time.Who would of thought that we’d being riding ATV’s and being adventurous and living life in our 70’s.I’m so glad we are livin’ ez on the road and still having fun.There are those who live the adventure and those that don’t.Don’t be the person that says I wish I had done that.Just get up and do it. I have some photos of our ride and will post a few.





A great day was had by all.
On Saturday we went to the town of Fairbank.Fairbank is on the San Pedro River and it came into existence in 1881 with the construction of the New Mexico and Arizona railroad.They were having a event that day and it was fun.They have a walking trail to many sites that use to be Fairbank.There was a ranger that gave us a little history and a walk to the old cemetery.There are some buildings still there from the old mercantile,schoolhouse,and some other buildings.They had the artillery,calvary and some people showing their crafts.Here’s some photos.

On the way back home to Benson we stopped in St.David at Holy Trinity Monestary. This is a Benedictine Monastery.We have passed this place many times and see this cross so this time we stopped.The visitor center was closed so we just walked around.It was a full day and we headed home.Just livin’ ez
