I visited Tombstone and Boot Hill with my family when I was 13 in 1977. Those grave markers back then were either metal or standard grave stones. They’ve been replaced with those tacky “aged” ones. The metal markers were a pipe with a flat piece of metal welded to it, painted white and the name stenciled on in black. Also, the stones on the graves were almost level to the ground. There was no gift shop, no entrance fee, and it was still a functioning cemetery with a burial being set up the day we were there. My parents have many photos!
I have watched a boatload of these videos on tombstone and yours is the best by far. You show much more than most, We appreciate a more well rounded tour of Tombstone.
God I love that kind of history...I was brought up in the 70s watching nothing but westerns with my dad in Ireland....and the ok corral was one of the best....henry fonda victor mature in one and kirk douglas and burt lancaster in another and frankie laine singing the famous song..l. if I live to be 100 I will never get tired of these westerns.
Another REALLY NEAT OLD MINING TOWN YOU NEED TO SEE is Bisbee AZ!!! WAY BEFORE Sierra Vista became the biggest town, ranchers, soldiers and farmers did all of their business in Bisbee. Now the railroad came in the 1900's but tragically was ripped out after WWII. I lived in that region for YEARS and am quite fond of it's hidden canyons, mountains and history. Quite a few ghost towns in that county too!
We went last year, and for some reason almost everything was closed, the good part is the touristy parts were empty, and you could really feel the history of it..it was so empty, the girls in the courthouse were showing my 4 year old son all about the historyof the building and everything, he really loved it..it literally felt like we were the only people there
Great video Adam. I was stationed at Ft. Huachuca- in Sierra Vista just up the road from there. Used to go to Big Nose Kates all the time. That area is covered in Western History- the Bird Cage blew my mind first time i went thru. Ft. Huachuca was founded by Buffalo Soldiers and Bisbee just down the street has a lot of cool historical stuff also. Great job as always, highly enjoyable.
Hey J! The way the Army was pulling units out of "Ft. Wegotcha" made me think seriously that Sierra Vista was going to become the next ghost town! Lol my dad fell for the "just 3 years" ruse and we ended up staying for 5! Fortunately he got noticed by NATO and we got to go to Europe after that stint in the god-forsaken desert 😄 Thank you for your service and don't get bitten by anything poisonous! 😁
I don't know how but we were there yesterday and even recorded the same gunfights, went to the same places, and saw some of the same people and we somehow missed the Woo. I'm so bummed!
into family history lately, found a great grandma born in 1800s...and a very early photograph. She made it to 1959. that transition from horse buggy, to cars, telophone, tv, home furnace.. light and electricity. Some say she was always happy. I bet she is still smiling now ;o)
There was a Real Ghostbusters episode that took place in Tombstone where the Busters fought the ghosts of Wyatt Earp and his posse. It was a pretty good episode too.
Thank you for the visit to Tombstone! We went many years ago when I was very young and I think I all remember is the boothill cemetery and one of the main saloons. It was nice to get to see it again. Safe travels!
Hi Adam hope your road trip is going well also that looks like one fun place to visit and it was nice seeing you trying the lasso and yes you almost had it if it didn’t slip off the horn but in my book you got it now i can’t wait until tomorrow to see what you have in store all and all another great day see you on the next vlog adventure
I was stationed in TX a few years ago and we went to Ft. Huachuca for training. Then we went to Tombstone for a little field trip at the end. It was a lot of fun. We ended up a little tipsy and got into an abandoned show stage thing behind the town. Not supposed to be in there but nobody stopped us. We had our own cowboys and Indians battle. Lots of fun. We skipped the OK Corral thing because we thought it was too pricey and we hung out at some bars, Big Nose Kate's, and a few other places, and just got drunk instead.
Love Tombstone !! The entire atmosphere is wonderful. The people are quite memorable and engaging. It's a place that is worth going back to as it's fun and entertaining. It seems like you discover and learn a little more each time you go to Tombstone.
I am absolutely enjoying this series with Ko-Dee and yourself. The western states are so bizarre and great at the same time. Utah is a lot like this too. I was reminded of the scene with Rusty saying that Wyatt ERP was crummy because he was wearing tennis shoes lol. Any who, keep up the great content! I’m definitely tuning in to these.
I actually lived here in September of 1992. It was hard to live in a town that had nothing but tourism running it. My wife and me had to drive to Sierra Vista for anything. I guess it was part of the charm. During Helldorado days, they had reenactments of gunfights in the streets. I lived in a mining cottage that seemed bigger on the inside than out. It looks a lot newer than even then.
As a Arizona resident, a former HISTORICAL gunfighter and a family member of the man who killed the last Earp in Arizona. I'm embarrassed by the side show/Carney that Tombstone has turned out to be in the last few years. If you want to see REAL historical Tombstone history come to Tombstone's "Helldorado Days" Oct, 16-18, 2020. I apologize for these clowns you have witnessed.
Omg i been to tombstone Arizona i liked it a lot i actually was in Arizona for 7 days we didnt have much fun till we went to tombstone that was the best place we were.ever at.
Went there with my family & friends that lived in Phoenix, on my first vacation ever! I was 6 years old & none of this stuff was as commercialized as it is now! Boot Hill was free, no building to go through. My favorite place was where the huge Rose Tree is! About a year ago a friend was there & sent me a photo of it! I’m so happy it’s still there! There were no street shows when we were there! I actually had a Sarsaparilla in one of the bars, can’t remember the name but I think it was just root beer! This was in 1959! I still have found memories of the visit & my parents think the original owner of the house now cafe where the large Rosetree is, were relatives of ours! Not sure but it sounded so exciting to me! I hope to go back there one day! Arizona is such a great place, so beautiful! I had the privilege of living there for 5 months! This video brings back memories but it is a lot different than it was 60 years ago!!
Shoulda asked the Stagecoach driver if it was “ok to wear your hats or sunglasses, or should you best remove 'em-'cause this here's the wildest ride in the wilderness!” 😆
This was awesome! I never knew there were stagecoach rides. The rickety one was the best choice. Paused vid to read the paper 18:00. I like how the eye witness referred to Wyatt Earp as "cool as a cucumber." It's so fascinating how phrases and figures of speech endure.
Hi Adam and Kody. We enjoy visiting Tombstone, Arizona. Especially during the Helldorado days! We have a daughter and granddaughter who works in a couple of the saloons. Glad you visited.
I don't know if you did and didn't show it, or didn't do it at all... but if you did not go further into the Birdcage Theater... you missed out. It's the last completely original building left in Tombstone. The private poker room and all the cribs in the theater. Simply amazing. I hope you got to experience it. Tombstone is such a historically great place to spend some time and one of my favorite places to go. Thanks for spending some time there and sharing it with us.
Love that place. When inlived 8n AZ we would go quite a bit. But more importantly, we would head a little more south to Bisbee. Thats my favorite place on earth.
@chris younts Not really. More border trucks than anything and you will pass though a checkpoint about any way you go up. If you dont you are pretty much guaranteed to get pulled by a border patrol truck.
Stumbled across this and was pleasantly surprised. We own the curiosity shop in town. I had a good giggle seeing the hubs discussing fecal forgeries in your video! Thanks for having a snippet of us in it!
I visited Tombstone, AZ back in 2013, stayed a few days to make sure I saw everything. Took the ghost tour besides the regular tour of The Bird Cage Theater. Yes, it's haunted! Can't wait to go back again. Adam, if you can, stop at Old Tucson Studios in Tucson, AZ. A lot of westerns were filmed there. I even tried out for the stunt show, but didn't get the gig. Safe travels to you and Co D!
Been to Tombstone several times since I used to live in the area. It always gave me the creeps; still does. Great video guys thanks for sharing. Like someone said below, that place is SERIOUSLY haunted. If your travels take you to Skinwalker Ranch aka as Sherman Ranch southeast of Ballard Utah one day, it would be interesting to get your take on it. Have fun!
i cried a little here, because i remember leroy who was a beautiful human being and he was killed outside the bird cage theatre. i was there that sad day i will never ever forget it. rest in peace dear leroy.
I absolutely love this video! One day Billy & I want to travel along I-10 and end at Disneyland. Tombstone is definitely one of our stops. Thanks Adam for a great video!!!
Visited Tombstone back in the late 70's. Not much has changed except there's a lot more "street shows" than there were back then. The OK corral gun fight was a little more realistic then with live performers. My favorite part was riding in the stage coach. Thanks for taking me back to a great time in my late teens that I'll never forget.
One thing you may not have known about. I live about an hour from Tombstone and never did this but they have Ghost tours there at night. I plan on doing it someday, I'm not sure of what the schedule is but if it was something you could have stayed for it would have been an experience you wouldn't have forgotten. I know some that have done it and they really enjoyed it.
I lived about a half hour from Tombstone as a kid and was part of my uncle's wedding there. I haven't been there in decades but I remember it being a fun little town.
We visited Tombstone a few years ago, and my favorite part of Tombstone was the Birdcage Saloon. I liked all the old things they had collected in side.
very cool Jordan was there not to long ago also . I was there the other day in big nose kates it is a quaint town thanks for the blog you for sure get around also Rodney here in easwt tucson
We went to Tombstone in ‘07! We had a Great time! Lots of Paranormal Activity! My daughter and I went on a Ghost Hunt, while my Wife hid in the Hotel! She got a disembodied guest and she was not Happy! Lots of Activity!

It looked really fake to me. It should be illegal to charge admission to a graveyard!
I thought those graves looked fake. Why even do that? The originals would be just fine
My son is the stagecoach driver, cool to see him on one of your videos.
I have watched a boatload of these videos on tombstone and yours is the best by far. You show much more than most, We appreciate a more well rounded tour of Tombstone.
God I love that kind of history...I was brought up in the 70s watching nothing but westerns with my dad in Ireland....and the ok corral was one of the best....henry fonda victor mature in one and kirk douglas and burt lancaster in another and frankie laine singing the famous song..l. if I live to be 100 I will never get tired of these westerns.
Love love love your channel. You are so much fun! Thanks
Ohhhhhhhh....TOMBSTONE!!❤❤ My favorite place in the world. Been there dozens of times since Jr. High. Fell in love with my husband there 20 years ago.
Good to see you and Co D together again! Great little adventure in an old west tourist town!
Another REALLY NEAT OLD MINING TOWN YOU NEED TO SEE is Bisbee AZ!!! WAY BEFORE Sierra Vista became the biggest town, ranchers, soldiers and farmers did all of their business in Bisbee.

So great to watch I loved watching westerns in the 70s as a child still do !! I've always wanted to be in a Western movie!!! For some reason!!
Thanks Adam and Cody. Enjoying the ride with you guys... 🤠
Went there in 2013 with my dad
It was wonderful
Thank you for the video
We went last year, and for some reason almost everything was closed, the good part is the touristy parts were empty, and you could really feel the history of it..it was so empty, the girls in the courthouse were showing my 4 year old son all about the historyof the building and everything, he really loved it..it literally felt like we were the only people there
Thanks for letting me go along with you, I don't think I'll ever get to see the town of Tombstone in real. I really enjoyed it. God Bless You .
Yayy.. I always wanted you to visit Tombstone. Excited for this one!
This vlog was over TO SOON. LoL, I want to go now. :)
...East of Tucson.
That moustache guy was the balm! Great eposode, Adam! Always fun and informative.
I wish you could have gone to Tombstone 30 years ago before it was so commercialized! Those were the days!
Great video Adam. I was stationed at Ft. Huachuca- in Sierra Vista just up the road from there. Used to go to Big Nose Kates all the time.

Lol my dad fell for the "just 3 years" ruse and we ended up staying for 5! Fortunately he got noticed by NATO and we got to go to Europe after that stint in the god-forsaken desert 😄 Thank you for your service and don't get bitten by anything poisonous! 😁
Excellent vlog. Good to see you doing these trip vlogs. You have a real gift for finding interesting places. I love tombstone.
I don't know how but we were there yesterday and even recorded the same gunfights, went to the same places, and saw some of the same people and we somehow missed the Woo. I'm so bummed!
Tombstone is freaking awesome. I love that place and I love how they have not modernized it and kept it almost the same.
Very interesting! Great video. Thanks for sharing!
into family history lately, found a great grandma born in 1800s...and a very early photograph. She made it to 1959. that transition from horse buggy, to cars, telophone, tv, home furnace.. light and electricity. Some say she was always happy. I bet she is still smiling now ;o)
Very interesting as your road trips always are. Thank you Adam great vlog!
That place is definitely on my bucket list. Thanks for the phenomenal video, Adam. WOOHOO 🤗👏🤠
Great video
Hi Adam very awesome vlog at Tombstone Arizona. Very nice wild west town!!
Whow the cemetery seems like worlds away from the present like another lifetime away. Great fun. Great vlog as always!!
You should have gone on their ghost hunting tour. Tombstone is seriously haunted!
Yeah especially when Ghost Adventures crew investigated the Bird Cage Theatre!
i play gangsta rap over the shoot out *NUT'N BUT NIGGAS AND G'S!* ...feeling backlash yet anyone?
What place ISN'T haunted?
There was a Real Ghostbusters episode that took place in Tombstone where the Busters fought the ghosts of Wyatt Earp and his posse. It was a pretty good episode too.
@@AbandonedExplorationUrbex1979 , That was awesome!.
I'll be there in a week and a half for the first time! I'm so excited!
Wow, u r lucky!
We liked it here so much we came back and are still here!
Thanks for the ride along Adam.
Seriously the best travel info channel You seem like the guy next door. Upbeat, knowledgeable, literal, awesome speaking voice & easy on the eyes. 👍🏼
Thank you for the visit to Tombstone! We went many years ago when I was very young and I think I all remember is the boothill cemetery and one of the main saloons. It was nice to get to see it again. Safe travels!
This is on my bucket list.. cant wait to visit.
Thanks for your log I enjoyed this

Adam, never seen a cemetery like that. Awesome video and thank you for taking me along with you on your travels! Looking forward to your next one.

I have seen many videos of tombstone, but yours was real thorough you showed many things that others have passed by. Thanks
As always, a wonderful glimpse into the past! Thank you!

I was here in 2006+7 and loved it. Great video 👍🏻
On my bucket list. Thanks for the tour!
What an amazing place! Great video Adam. Thank you and safe travels.👍🏼😎🤘🏼
I love your cross country trip videos!! They are my favorite on TH-cam.
Thank you....a great day.
The best tombstone video!

Oh this is classic Woo! Keep rockin' and rollin' along on this great journey ATW and stay safe. Great vlog.
Awesome Adam...i live in Sierra Vista AZ. Wish I knew you were coming out. Arizona is Awesome!!!!
Been there several times. First in 1951 during Helldorado days, they had gambling, found a real silver dollar in the dirt. Lots of fun.
Interesting. I wilk never be able to go there
Hi Adam and Kody. We enjoy visiting Tombstone, Arizona. Especially during the Helldorado days! We have a daughter and granddaughter who works in a couple of the saloons. Glad you visited.
Amazing how it's been preserved. Bullet holes n' all.
It's worth being on the road another half hour to visit Bisbee, a real gem of a picturesque mining town.
Great video and series, sir.

I lived about a half hour from Tombstone as a kid and was part of my uncle's wedding there. I haven't been there in decades but I remember it being a fun little town.
Good morning Adam, have a great day!
Holy crap that was your first time!? If I’d have known I would have forced you to go forever ago with me
