Don't Ask me what Wyat Earp has to do with Memorial Day.

Met a couple of actors from my stomping grounds in Montana. The streets were packed with tourists and locals in costumes. On going scenes & gunfights were constantly going on in one section of the street. There were stagecoach, covered wagons and trolley tours. Had a great time.

Here's the courtroom where Wyat Earp & Doc Holiday were tried (the courthouse gallows that were not used on them), the stables of the OK Corral, the alley where the fight took place, the Marshall's Office & the house of the lawyer who got them both off. The headline of the Tombstone Epitaph the next day read:

YESTERDAY'S TRAGEDY

Three Men hurried into

Eternity

This is the courthouse where they tried Wyat Earp & Doc Holiday.

What a pain in the tutu! I wanted to put all of my photos of Tombstone together but I can't figure how to do it. So here comes a series of Tombstone Posts.

Jake was a great hit. Here we are on tour in the 1800's answer to a camper.

This was pretty much the unchanging Arizona view until I reached Tucson.

Got caught up on the latest country/western songs on the radio. I was brought up on those in Montana. I remember when Patsy Cline had the first million dollar hit by a woman, I want to be a Cowboy's Sweetheart. I did too. I didn't have any ill feelings against Dale, but if I could just get to LA, I knew Roy & Trigger & I could be very happy.

Here's Twenty Nine Palms in western California.

Well, now I know not to put quote marks in my blog

Someone called & said I didn't have a post for 2 days. "Get real, my friends" as the Dos XX man would say. I don't stay where there's Y Fi every night, Last night my camera"s batteries & I were

exhausted. I bought new batteries for the trip so I thought exhausted meant they were recharging, not so.

I loved Tombstone. Jake was a hit there. We stayed WAY too long so I didn't get into Sante Fe until 10:30! Will try to get some batteries today but with the holiday, who knows.

Here's Ol' Mini Van, Ol' Jake & Ol' Alice ready to leave Los Angeles.
