Monday we went to historic Tombstone, AZ., "The Town Too Tough To Die". Tombstone is indeed alive and full of old West vigor. Lots to see and shops to visit. Gun fights daily at the OK Corral , which was the most famous gunfight to ever occur in western lore, and then lunch at the Big Nose Kate Saloon. Big Nose Kate ( so named for her snooping ways ) was the gal that loved Doc Holiday-and everyone else too.
Next we visited the famous Boothill cemetery just north of Tombstone. It goes without saying that the name came from so many of the dead died with their boots on. This is Tombstones original graveyard used from 1879-1884.

I was there as a child and I still remember what great fun we had watching the gun fights. Sounds like you are having a great time.
wow this was cool! I remember those gun fights at Disneyland lol. Just read each of the sites you left for us THANK YOU. It seems to me that living in the old west was pretty frightening with everyone wearing guns....
