The Wild Wild West
Thursday 30th October After breakfast at "The Good Egg" we drove out to Kartchner Caverns a beautiful cave system discovered in 1974 and kept secret until 1988 - very interesting. When Ed Schiefflin said he was heading out west people said "All you will find out there is your Tombstone". Ed found silver and named the town Tombstone (what a sense of humour!). The main street in dirt and is for horse traffic only. The sidewalks are still all wood and most of the buildings are circa 1880's. We drove over to Tombstone just in time to see a re-enactment of the gunflight at OK - Corral from the cowboys perspective. Just on dusk, we drove over to a little town called Bisbee and had a quick wander around before heading back to Tucson for the night.
