Tombstone Video

Описание: We were excited to arrive in Tombstone, Arizona. Before getting there, we spent a few days in the Tucson area and visited Old Tucson Studios. This was the filming location for many western movies, including "Tombstone".

The movie set built our anticipation for seeing the real deal. While today's Tombstone is a bit of a tourist trap, it's not so much so that you can't visualize the past. Throughout main street, next to the boardwalk, one will find information plaques that tell the stories of the colorful characters that once called Tombstone home. Many of the stories tell of shootings and killings, revealing Tombstone's wild side.

This video focuses more on the wild side of Tombstone, but there is a softer side... such as the world's largest Rose Tree that covers the courtyard of The Rose Tree Museum. Then there is the sad side. A visit to Boothill Cemetery is a must... as is a self guided tour of the Bird Cage where many "soiled doves" plied their trade. Of course, no trip to Tombstone is complete without a visit to the infamous OK Corral where they now recreate the shootout with more than one show daily.

At this point of our trip, we'd been on the road for a month. We were able to meet up with some good friends and were able to travel together for a little over a week. Traveling with friends is so much fun!

Enjoy!
