Amado Territory Inn

-

The last time my sister-in-law and I went to Tubac we stayed at the Poston House Inn.  The inn was sold and is now Soulistic Hospice.  This past weekend we wanted to return to Tubac and stayed at the Amado Territory Inn.  This bed and breakfast sits along Interstate 19 between Green Valley and Tubac, south of Tucson.  My husband came along so we got two rooms with king beds.

Check-in was at 3:00 pm so we went shopping and had lunch in Tubac while waiting to get our rooms.  We were met by Janene who was happy to check us in while her daughter and son-in-law ran an errand.  She gave us a little tour before we were shown our rooms.  My hubby and I picked room two.  The room was large with a king bed, amour, desk, and a door leading to the back patio.  The bathroom was roomy as well.  My sister-in-law's room was about the same.  After checking in we drove to Tubac for Mexican food.  When we got back, we decided to hit the tiny bar at the Firefly restaurant next door which is part of the B&B.  The next morning Doug and Teah fixed us a nice eggs and bacon breakfast with fresh fruit.  The second morning they fixed us pancakes and sausage.

We had a wonderful stay at the Amado Territory Inn from the comfortable room and bed to the delicious breakfasts.  The scenery was amazing and serine.  I can see why people get married at that location.  I would recommend you give this B&B a try.  You won't regret it.

26 Bar Ranch (John Wayne Ranch)

Immersed in the Hereford’s history in Eagar, AZ, sits the 26 Bar Ranch.   It was first known as the Milky Way Ranch in the 1940’s with its big white show barn which housed many Hereford cattle.   The barn is now a local landmark.   In 1964 the ranch became the 26 Bar Ranch or John Wayne’s Ranch, who was one of the owners.   Wayne, along with Ken Reafsnyder and Louis Johnson, his business partners, kept the ranch until John Wayne’s death in 1979 from lung and stomach cancer.   Lately, I have heard rumors that Bigfoot has been seen near the ranch.   I don’t know if that is true or not, but it would be worth checking out.

Historic Downtown Payson

Located in the northern part of Gila County is the town of Payson, Arizona.  Because of where it is located in the state, it has been christened “The Heart of Arizona”.   Payson was established in 1882 and was first identified as Green Valley.  Two years later in March, a post office was erected with the assistance of Lewis Edwin Payson.  The people showed their gratitude by changing the town’s name to Payson.  Also that same year, the first rodeo was held and deemed the “world’s oldest continuous”.   It is still held in Payson till this day.  In the 1950’s, after many complained about the trip from Phoenix to Payson taking eight to twelve hours, a new paved highway was constructed.  State Route 87 (or the Beeline Highway), made travel quicker and easier for those wanted to get away from the heat of the valley to the gorgeous, serine forests in Payson.

Cowboy Mummy Found in Desert

  There are many strange stories in the Arizona files. One that is told is about the mummy found in the desert near Gila Bend nicknamed “Sylvester”. Many believe that he once was a 19th century cowboy, a con that loved to play cards. Stories are told that he finally got caught cheating and was shot in the stomach. He made a hasty exit while bleeding profusely from his wound. He got as far as Arizona’s Gila Bend desert when he fell off his horse and died face down in the sweltering heat. Shortly afterwards, he was covered by the blowing sands, which appeared to have dried his body overnight. This apparently preserved his body resulting in the mummified form he was found in. The more believable story was that he was found shortly after death and preserved in a high level of arsenic. Arsenic was used to stop the physical occurrences of a corpse rotting by killing bacteria and insects that invaded it. This custom of using arsenic was found to be poisonous by the 1900’s and never used
