Today we drove to Tombstone, Arizona. This was about 30 miles south of Benson, Arizona. The main road (expressway) here is Route 10 and it is a busy road. The other roads are not busy, but they are really good roads. Beautiful mountain areas on our way south. During our drive there are a lot of signs on the roads to watch for animals, but I'm still looking for the animals.

After leaving Tombstone we drove over to Sierra Vista. On our way back to our campground we again went through a Border Patrol. They just kinda glance into the vehicle and wave you on. It is nice to see they are trying to check, but if you are illegal would you drive through this check point. LOL

We stopped at the Crystal Palace Saloon for lunch and as you can see Bob's beer. It is a really nice saloon.


This was our waitress at the Crystal Palace Saloon.


We went to a gun fight, this didn't have anything to do with the OK Corral, but was so interesting. There was stories with each gun fight. One was a guy that kept loosing at the poker game and he pulled the gun on the winner. You can see the smoke from the gun fire.


This is the fight between the Clantons and Wyatt Earp and his brothers. It was very good and about a 45 minutes show. During the day we kept hearing that this isn't the Hollywood version, this is the actual way it happened.


We stopped at "Boot Hill Cementary". This was one of the guys that was killed at the OK Corral. The three that were killed at the OK Corral were buried at this cemetary. But there was alot of graves marked "Unknown".
