Tombstone

We got to the town of Tombstone late in the day. 


A lot of things were just closing.  I hope we get to come back here again sometime.  It's a really cool town.



This was where Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday had the famous shootout at the O.K. Corral



 and the famous haunted Birdcage Theater.




This is REAL tumblin' tumbleweed!




There were a lot of western shops and Bob bought a new black suede vest.  Here Bob is looking at hand tooled leather holsters.



                                                     Then we drove up to the town of Bisbee,


                                                               where we saw the Lavendar Pitt,


which is the largest open pit copper mine.

This mountain is orange because of the copper deposits.

  If we had gotten there earlier, we might have been able to go though one of the mines. It was getting late so then we drove back through Sierra Vista where we ate dinner at Applebees.
I didn't take this picture, I found it on the internet, but it was really pretty.  Although I never got to see a true vibrant sunset, I did see the different shades of blues in the mountains.  These are the mountains in Sierra Vista.  It was getting dark by the time we drove though here.
