We visited Tombstone yesterday and the 1st stop was Boothill. It was laid out as a burial plot in 1878 and was called the Tombstone Cemetery. Most of the old cemetery is now parking lot and highway but the most famous gravesites still exist. They did studys thru the Arizona Historical Society and identified they gravesites. Tombstone was a tough town and a lot of people were killed, they had 2 mortuarys and both were busy. At its peak they say about 15000 to 18000 people lived here. Bigger than Los Angeles at the time.
We are staying about 25 miles north in Benson. Next posting I will have pics of downtown. Weather is warm and will be in the mid 70's for the next 10 days. Today I golf. We are parked less than a mile from a 18 hole course. If you bring in a receipt from the rv park they give you a local rate. $20 with cart after 1:00. Pepper likes the location, we are backed up to several acres of unused land and I can let her run without a leash. Oh, the old movie 3:10 to Yuma, well we are about a mile from the tracks. Trains heading toward Yuma pass by "with horns blasting" at 3:10, 4:10, 5:10..............midnite......you get the gist.
