What to Bring

Sunscreen and a cowboy hat. I wouldn't wear a gun in this town though unless you want to end up on the wrong side of the Wyat Earp.

One Greeting sign in Tombstone stated, "IF you must enter these premises illegally please remove your dentures our Doberman finds them hard to digest." The heat of the desert rises off the still dirt main street when gunmen can be seen walking about. You don't have to imagine the wild west because you are there. Not far away a place all eventually made it was to Tombstones Boot Hill. Walking through the gravestones you quickly realize that many arrived at the place much sooner than they wished. Famous headstones seem to populate the place such as "Here Lies Lester Moor Four slugs from a 44 No Les No More" or "Here lies George Johnson hanged by "Mistake 1882 He was right and we was wrong but we strung him up and now he's gone" There are others but I'll let you find them. Of course, the OK Correl is there and they still shoot it out every day. Bullet holes can be found in some of the walls of the buildings there. After much inspection, you realize any person would have been lucky to make it out of that town on the right side of the grass.
