A recent trip to the desert Southwest
Tucson and Tombstone - Arizona
| Famous as "The Town Too Tough To Die", Tombstone is best known for the gunfight at the O.K.Corral. Lawman Wyatt Earp confronts the Clanton gang and Doc Holliday on October 26, 1881, a shoot-out develops lasting not more than a few minutes. Stories have been told, movies produced and the town now lives off the legend. Still a nice place to visit though. |
| This is Rafaela, Pricilla and myself posing on Allen Street. Plenty of shops, the Bird Cage Theater, O.K. Corral and the the courthouse, the oldest standing territorial in Arizona, are only a few footsteps from each other |
| Wow, did you see the bad guys? They still have guns and there is a shoot-out every hour or so! Looking like characters from the movie they make it all come together. Not really a Western Theme Park but as close as one would guess it would be |
