Tombstone, an old Wild West Town

We’ve been here a month now and we hadn’t been to Tombstone yet. Thinking that it was high time to pay this little historic town another visit and to just satisfy our curiosity to see what the darn outlaws gang had been up to. 

Sure enough, just as we arrived there were a bunch of these gunslingers lined up across the road announcing an imminent shootout! Hey, if you haven’t watched one of those shouting and hollering, revolver drawing performances, you should definitely go and see it.

Glad those boys are still at it and wouldn’t you know it, they even had two doxies that looked very familiar to us! 

Also new dedicated motorcycle parking

From our previous visits we remembered some of the unique stores and we’d seen some locals wearing time period costumes strutting the authentic looking boardwalks. This time there was less activity, but it was the middle of the week.

Not much had changed over the years since we were there last. However, a new statue of Edward Schieffelin had been erected in 2022. He was a prospector and miner that in 1877 & 1878 struck silver in the area. His discoveries led to the founding of the City of Tombstone.

The old railway station

Another new development was a no service overnight parking for RVs behind the old Railway Station. However, the steep, uneven curved path down to the level parking area is something else.

$10/night, at least you have a place to stay if the RV parks are full

It was a fun outing as we knew it would be and it’s worth to go again anytime.

Today we did another excursion, but you have to wait until tomorrow to find out where we went. Lots of photos!
