A Step Back in Time

There was a movie about the town of Tombstone (actually, several) that called it “the town too tough to die”.  One day, Jeff and I decided to visit this tough Old West Town, and walk down its main street.  It is like a step back in time to walk down that dusty road….

Courthouse in Tombstone

If you’ve heard of the “shootout at the OK Corral” then you’ve heard of Tombstone!  Somehow, I can’t help but think that this courthouse (or the original one) got a lot of use “back in the day”, as they say!

Wyatt’s Hotel

One of the guys that hung out in Tombstone was Wyatt Earp, and this hotel has been named after him.  Did he actually own it…..or stay there often?  Who knows?  I can almost see him gazing out of the second story window, tho.

Main Street – Tombstone

The main street is actually just a couple of blocks long, and is clearly the main commercial section of town, so no, the entire town doesn’t look like this!  In any event, one does feel like one has stepped back in time when wandering down the street.

Street Signs

As we walked along, I noticed these cool street signs down one of the side streets.  I love the signs that hang out from the buildings.  Why don’t they do that more nowadays?  It would make it easier to spot the shops!

Vintage Town Scene

There were a couple of different stagecoaches that traveled up and down the main street area, with some historical information presented by the coach drivers.  I love the background of the mercantile.

Window Reflection

Just outside of Tombstone, there was a small historical village.  As those of you who follow my blog know, I am greatly attracted to windows with interesting reflections, and this one doesn’t disappoint!

Enjoy!
