Tombstone

 Oh, the wild, wild, west!  Who doesn't just love the good ole' cowboys?  Passing through Arizona, we HAD to make a quick stop in Tombstone, a place filled with many stories of bravery and heroics, but also a lot of violence to keep what was right, RIGHT.



With dirt-paved streets, horse-drawn carriages and fancy garb, it was easy to feel as though you had been transported back in time!


This original bar and mirror was made and delivered from Pittsburgh!  Now, remember, UHAUL did not exist back in the late 1800's!  This piece was inside of the Bird Cage Theatre where most of the cowboys, like Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday, visited on a regular basis.  It was also here, where Wyatt met his bride-to-be, Josie.  They were married for 47 years.  :)



Below, is a picture of Josie and a poem she wrote about the love held between her and Wyatt.  :)



Be careful visiting this town now a days!  It is VERY touristy, and you could drop MAJOR bucks if your not careful.
You've been warned....



Blessings,
Steph
