For now though, it sounds like we will be leaving 4 days before Dan and on Oct 6th meeting up with him in Tombstone, Arizona (where Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Virgil and Morgan Earp fought the Clantons and McLaurys on October 26, 1881 at the O.K. Coral). First though, on Oct 4th, Conchita and I will be making a stop at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas to see the Celine Dion show. This is her last year performing there, so why not! I am not ashamed to admit that I am a fan of Celine!!!</p><p align="center">After crossing the Mexican border we will head down through Creel and check out the Copper Canyon (this canyon system is larger and deeper than the Grand Canyon in the neighbouring United States, although the Grand Canyon is larger overall than any of the individual canyons of the Copper Canyon system). After that; we really dont have any other plans. Just point the bikes south and off we go!! <br /> <br /> <br /><strong>Horizons Unlimited Travellers Meeting</strong> </p><p align="center"><strong>Silverton, Colorado</strong> <p></p><p align="center"><strong>July 12-15, 2007.</strong> <br /></p><div align="center"></div><p align="center">(Done) <br /> <br /> <br /></p><div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CMRJkMHaWtc/Rfwrr7P5XaI/AAAAAAAAAT4/07tlVAbyy1U/s1600-h/ophir_pass.jpeg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5042953716386848162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CMRJkMHaWtc/Rfwrr7P5XaI/AAAAAAAAAT4/07tlVAbyy1U/s320/ophir_pass.jpeg" border="0" /></a> This is Ophir Pass in Colorado.
