Tombstone, AZ Letterboxing

We drove down to Tombstone, "The Town Too Tough To Die" today. There are 2 letterboxes hidden within Tombstone and we had a great time hunting for and finding them, while exploring this unique Cowboy themed town. The carvers of the two unique and perfectly themed stamps are very talented,too!

Some of the funny and interesting grave markers.(Click on the pictures below to read them clearer)



The stone-covered graves of the outlaws killed in 1881 at the famous OK Corral Gunfight.

The second letterbox had non-specific, mysterious clues to follow. That is until we were actually in Tombstone, and then they totally made sense. It was a cinch to find this letterbox and fun,too!

Here we are at the Tombstone Courthouse, checking out a 12 ton ROUND safe. Round? Yes, it was made that way to deflect any dynamite thrown at it! Right beside it is an old mine shaft elevator.

All over the town, stage coaches carry visitors and give tours of Tombstone.

Jackson took this picture after asking the cowboy if he could take his picture.

A 'bony' creepy friend located inside the "Ghosts and Legends" Museum and Shows. It waspretty dusty inside the building, hence the white circle....but maybe the circle is really a ghost?(Insert spooky music here)
The shop keeper did something funny with this skeleton while Jax and Jem were posing. He made the skeleton talk and start shooting and wiggling around. It made Jax nearly pee his pants!

Several companies do live re-enactments of the Gun Fight at OK Corral,where you can experience what it was like when Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday,Virgil and Morgan Earp fought the McLaurys and Clantons in 1881.

A placard located at the actual famous gunfight location.

We also visited the historic original newspaper of Tombstone: The Tombstone Epitaph, which was bought and operated by John Clum, a friend of Wyatt Earp, in 1880.
