Hello! I’m in the middle of Texas somewhere. We pushed the truck with miles behind us today, took two drivers to get over 450 miles today. You may not think that is a lot but we got a late start (9am) and finally parked the RV at a KOA Campground off the highway somewhere off I-10. Our choice was to either find an RV park in the dark (ugh!) or park in a rest area somewhere listening to engines running all night long (ugh!).

So I guess this is the part of the trip where I know we are heading east bound (Florida bound), but not sure where we are going tomorrow or what we are going to see tomorrow. A part of a trip where wandering aimlessly becomes a daily habit. But everything is good here, OH, I’ve got pictures for you from Tombstone!!!!!

Oh, gosh, I just went thru all my pictures and there are a lot….and I do mean a lot……

Our campground spot is less than 100 feet from the Tombstone attractions….

Just leave the RV and walk one block to see this street…..

This town is full of history……it’s amazing…..

Ohhh, Ghosts!!!

This is the carriage we rode on to take a trip around the town learning new information about what this town holds…..Wow, is that sky white!!

Bird Cage Theatre – We heard a lot about this place……history at it’s finest!

This is considered a state park – read about it HERE……..

We are taking our tour……

This is the place I was talking about…Big Nose Kate’s Saloon! Neat place. Live music, delicious drinks, and OK food…….

Ha! This was outside one of the stores……

Yep, we took this trolley ride…..another narrated tour of the town. This trolley will take you to Boothill Graveyard……..

Oh, I’m gonna be rich!!! I’m gonna be rich!!! Pan for Gold!!!!! Ewwwww, I’m not putting my hands in that sand!! I asked if they could dig the Gold out for me……well, neatless to say, I’m not rich.

We are walking around…..looking around……

Oh boy…….

There’s Boothill Graveyard……

The Graveyard…….

Ohhh, a gun fight…….

Let me tell ya, it’s freezing out. I couldn’t put enough layers on and it was cold to my bones….I just couldn’t warm up at all……time for some hot chocolate. They had a petting farm here too, we just looking at the animals and moved on……

Time to explore a mine……

That’s what they were looking for – Silver! I’m rich! I’m rich! I’m so rich!! What do you mean this pile is only 4% Silver and that’s why it was left behind by the miners????

This guy was part of a tour I went to…..not sure who he is…..oh well, you get to see him too

The OK Corral Gun Fight Show…….this display is where all each of the Cowboys and Law men actually stood that deadly day that took down three Cowboys by the Law men……

Here’s the show getting ready to start. The show was good, the movie displays what happened better. Watch the movie!!

Doc Holliday!! Wow! Too Cool!

Well, the show went on and they showed how 4 Cowboys and 4 Law men came to clash that day. I took all the pictures I could to show you.

Well, this is a short blog posting because I’m off to watch “Tombstone” again! Have a good night. I’ll erase all the pictures on my camera and start taking pictures again tomorrow. I’ll be back. Enjoy your weekend!
