I went with my daughter's family (including the G'kids) on a short outing to Tombstone, AZ, "the town too tough to die." Here are a few of the "shots" that I captured. A couple of old carts that were on display.

These women caught my attention with their outfits with the out of place, modern baby carriage. At first I thought they probably worked in the town, but later discovered they were just tourists dressed in period dress. Hmmm!

A few quick ones of the Stagecoach coming down main street.

This one was out of the frame, so I thought I would play a little. Just for fun as I am not an "Artsy" type guy. Ha!

I very much enjoyed the time I spent there 30 years ago and remember riding in the stagecoach thru the town. To be a bit of a smarty pants I pounded on the bar of the birdcage saloon and ordered a Sarspparilla and damned if they bartender didn't produce one.

@mikew Yes I got a couple from Bootheel Graveyard. I will try to get them processed and posted. My problem is that I have been to the place so many times, that I probably don't see things as being photo worthy like others might, who haven't been before. Ha!

For @mikew. A few from the Bootheel Cemetary. Most of the graves are of people that died during the 1880's.

This is a marker that gets a lot of attention for the obvious humor.

A shot of a few of the markers. Many "Unknowns" and Nicknames on the markers.

These are the graves of the famous/infamous Clantons, who were involved in the shootout with the Earps at the O.K. Corral.

You have to wonder who places the flowers on Billy Clanton's grave

The whole history of the place has some interesting twists and turns. Ha! I wouldn't be surprised if some distant relative or someone who feels they were the good guys might be doing it. Ha! Earps for sure weren't angels either. Ha! Just the way things were back then.

Actually, that's the way things still are. Did you get a chance to see the world"s largest rose bush or the room that Wyatt Earp use to live in?

Not this trip, but have in the past. I'm a native of the area. Born and raised. Ha!
