Gun fights and Indian nights

The feed and seed OK Corral was never famous until the shooting started

Take a stagecoach trip if you don't fancy gun play

The Inn At Castle Rock

Hummmmm
BISBEE, AZ - - From the blah area of Safford we headed off into the wilderness...which you can do in any direction.  Our first destination was Tombstone.  There might have been a famous gun fight here at the OK Corral.  Sure enough. You couldn't wander the historic section without hearing about when a re-enactment of the shoot out would take place and where you could buy your tickets to see it.  Actors wandered the streets in 'period' clothes.  "Hey, was that Wyatt Earp?"
     Down the road in the old mining town of Bisbee we wandered the streets until a hotel with the right amount of class got us to check in.  The Inn At Castle Rock is over 100 years old and started life at a workers hostel.  It has rooms decorated in 'period'  motif.  We stayed in the Geronimo room.  There were a lot of  decorations which, in an area with a stream of tourists, would probably be decorating some man-cave or garage.
     We also had hummingbirds for occasional company.
