Advantages: Real life Cowboy Country

Disadvantages: none


The late 1800's was a difficult time in the American West , outlaws prevailed , gunfights the norm.

We've all heard of the Gunfight at the OK Coral but dare we inagine it was real - I can assure you it was. I've seen it - well I've seen a reconstruction of it , fought out daily in Tombestone Arizona (where it actually happened).

About 60 miles south east of Tucson you arive in a classic cowboy town , a few short streets of wooden buildings - tacky I here you say. Could easily have been so but actually no.

Just outside of the town is Boothill Cemetary where all the famour named Outlaws are buried.

Western Shops abound but not as expected at sky high prices - ripping the customers off. The prices are actually better than in the main towns and shopping centres so you can pick up at very reasonable prices the likes of leather belts , cowboy hats , leather boots etc.

If you can spare a day here , you will not be disappointed.
