Bisbie & Tombstone Arizona


This is a picture of an old original bar in the old town of Bisbie, Arizona. Bisbie has a vast old west history and now seems to be a haven for the new hippy movement of this era.

This bar was like walking straight back in time.







This is our group sitting at a table at the above bar. Pictured from the far left is Me of course, Cowboy Woodie is next to me with the white hat, Mona's Mom is on the right and the old cowboy with his back to us is a local man we met there.

People were pretty friendly in this place.







This is a picture of the whole community of Bisbie as it looks today. Still a quaint little town with an old time west feel about it.











This is the Big Nose Kate's Saloon that sits on the main street of Tombstone, Arizona. The OK Corral is located just down the street. It was pretty neat because the locals rode their horses into town and tied up at the front of the saloon.









Here is another corner of the main streets of Tombstone. One can just imagine the Earps and the Clantons having it out on the streets. It isn't hard to see in your minds eye the way it probably was back in the heyday of the 1800's.


Sometimes I wish I could transport myself back to that time, where men were men, cowboys rode horses and the times were hard. Hmmm, times are hard now, so what's the difference.


And at last, we visited Boot Hill Cemetary. Here is where the Clanton's and the McLaury's were buried. May they rest in peace!
Well that is all for this post. May or may not post another one until after we move from our current location at Rock Shadows RV Park in Apache Junction, Arizona. We have had a great time here but it is now time to move on to our next destination, The Grand Canyon North Rim.
Mona has acquired work there and we will be spending the summer there. So if you go the that area this summer, try to look us up. Till then, Adios.
