More of Tombstone, AZ.

Apache customs demanded that if you commited adultery, your nose was cut off! Not the men of course, they had carte-blanche! BUMMER, but can't you just see how it would go today, LOTZ of stub-nosed ladies!!!!
Part of Geronimo's tribe, but notice the little white girl with her doll and dog, she was a captive, but although they let the photographer take this picture, nothing was said to anyone, because most likely her parents were dead, and besides, no more pictures would be taken from then on. Some things never change!!


Some of the bad guys, we could use some of these to take care of things today, huh? I tell you what, they looked MEAN, I sure wouldn't like to have met them, even in the daylight!



This is the mean guy himself, Geronimo the Apache chief, who tried so hard to keep his land, but finally gave up, and went to a reservation.



There was trouble over at "Big Nose Kates", but after seeing what happened at the OK Corral, we just said NO THANKS YA'LL" and kept on waukin'! Big nosed Kate was Doc Hollidays girlfriend, by the way, and she didn't have a big nose except she couldn't keep it out of other folks business, know anyone like that? NAWWWWW




This was the bar at the Crystal Palace Saloon, it was hand carved, had the original mirrors and was a deep mahogany, Gorgeous! There were quite a few there original pieces.





And..... on stage was ole Elvis himself, and he walked right up to me with one of his scarves! I took this picture to keep from laughing, He was soo NOT like Elvis, and couldn't sing either, but I was NICE, I kept the piece of fabric, all the other gals either gave it back or left it at the table when they left. What a job, huh?? Thank you, ahh, thank you very much!!











This gal wanted her picture taken with the skeleton, she backed up, sat on his lap, got (creepily I might add) comfortable, and I was laughing to hard to get her picture when he put his arms around her and she screamed bloody murder!Her friend got a good one for her and she didn't volunteer to do it again.
















Wyatt Earps house, & the man himself, standing there with his rifle, even had horses tethered in his from yard.






















There He is~~~~ Border patrol! They stopped, ask Bill where he was born, he said, Portland, Oregon Sir, says I, huh-uh! The guy says, and just where were YOU born?, by that time Bill remembered that he was born in Bellingham, Wash. OOPS!!! They guy was nice about it and we were on our way.
