Tombstone, AZ

Classic Star Trek episode


Downtown Tombstone - Tombstone is the epitome of the Wild West in America. Mining, gunfights, cattle, prostitution, etc. It's located in the high desert of SE Arizona. Tourism is the only thing of note I could see taking place here.


Looking south on Allen St.


I do believe there's gonna be a showdown


Is this the 3:10 to Yuma?


Supposedly, the Bird Cage Theater is haunted


Looking north on Allen St.


Big Nose Kate was Doc Holliday's girlfriend



Boot Hill Cemetery - I have to admit, I was expecting dirt, dust and sagebrush. Instead it was rocks and cacti. The old woman taking donations - who was only SLIGHTLY younger than Wyatt Earp - asked me to sign the register. Mine is the last name in the picture below and is a shoutout to Dave and Kathryn in Plano.


Funny epitaph


He was the supposed leader of a gang of robbers

The dirt in that cemetery looks like it's damn hard to dig 6 feet into.

And, you do know the 3:10 was a train (of the rail variety), not a stagecoach. (I just watched that movie again recently -- not normally a big Russell Crowe fan, but he and Christian Bale are both really good in that one, IMO.)
