- A visit to Tombstone Arizona to check out the Birdcage Theatre , OK Corral and Boot Hill among many other historical landmarks .
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.
Holy crap that was your first time!? If I’d have known I would have forced you to go forever ago with me
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.
@@Jason_Phillips3679 , That was awesome!.
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!
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
The commercialism takes away from the authenticity
Nothing there is authentic. Not even the stories that they tell.
It has the have some way to be maintained. Yes some things aren't historically accurate. But a lot of the stories are absolutely truth.
I do have to agree in many ways. But there are still some that believe in keeping it real and with out hooks like Tombstone Treasures. Please read my comment above yours.
All in all, it's not nearly as bad as a lot of "historic" sites. Yes, there's some commercialism, but ... well, the after-hours tours are the best.
Tombstone was largely abandoned when the silver ran out. Without commercialism, Tombstone would not exist. Upkeep costs money. Lots of it.
“HEY McFLY!”
Back to the future
😅clint Eastwood the sharpest shooter in the west
Chicken!!!
@@robertingles2145 *turns around slowly* exscuse me 😑
Unfortunately, some of these grave markers (such as George Johnson) are fake. The burials are real, but the gravestones have fictitious epitaphs in order to help attract tourism. It's unfortunate, because Tombstone has such a history and such scenery that you shouldn't have to lie to attract tourists. There are real people buried there, and it's sad we don't know who they really are and choose to make up names and stories at their expense.
Sounds like you have a personal story to share, perhaps 🤔
Good to see you and Co D together again! Great little adventure in an old west tourist town!
So close. Wish we knew you were coming. We would have taken you to some old west filming locations.
Love your video on it too!
Should have also went to Ringo Pond. It is the location where Johnny Ringo was killed. It is about an hour east of 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!
Ahhh, desert people, the sun kinda ticked em in the head...LOL
@eclemensen Haaa, yeah...I was raised in the Mojave desert...Good times.
Adventure Awaits I mean, true. Lol I’m from the high desert, we’re all a bit crazy l
I wish you could have gone to Tombstone 30 years ago before it was so commercialized! Those were the days!
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!” 😆
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!
Your videos are so much better without Cody! Leave him at home next time...keep doing your thang brother. 👍🍻😎
What a tourist trap! A lot of house cleaning at the graveyard since I saw it back in 1972! They now charge ya to enter?? ☹️
Think of how much a money maker the Birdcage would be if they took all the tourist stuff out, put the Faro and poker tables back in, reopened the bar, hired entertainment girls in period wear, ran the same hours and recreated the actual look and atmosphere of it's heyday. It wouldn't be for children but it never was.
Tombstone - where scandal + time = money.
Nice place, I am guessing that graveyard is just for looks not anybody really there but rocks
nope. it's actually real. billy clanton and the mcclaury's are buried there. it doesnt' seem real because of all the Halloween stuff and the touristy feel of tombstone
The original Lincoln Log 18:24
A must-see when you're in tombstone is the largest rose bush in the world
But i thought she said she was finally going to shave. 🤔🤣🤣
@@Jason_Phillips3679 Correct but they had to get rid of that beard first...which proves an even bigger challenge...
@@koningbolo4700 🤣
Its amazing in the spring. Smells glorious. You can smell it blocks away.
So many of the attractions in Tombstone were free back in the 60's. Guess greed took over.
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.
My son is the stagecoach driver, cool to see him on one of your videos.
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! 😁
You gotta pay to see the graveyard? That's crap after hearing that I doubt there's actually any bodies in them
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.
Val Kilmer was great as Doc.
He should have won the academy award for best actor and everyone knows it.
@@Uncletoast52 people
his absolutely great actor for Hollywood.
I wouldn't want to be there at night.Ghost Adventures were there investigating.Even Wyatt Earp was seen walking the streets at night
Dude I think I know who that was and it was no ghost, it was one of the descendants of the Earps. He's a bit funny in the head, he visited my elementary school back in the 1980's and did a presentation about the Earps. Heck you could even SEE the history in that county back in the 1980's but most of it has been removed for progress!
That mechanical gunfight was about as cheesy as it gets. Talk about a tourist town. But hey, if that's your only industry, you gotta do what ya gotta do, right?
5:01 what are those realistic guns that fake shoot called?
At 3:55 this guy sounds like John Marston

Adam & Steve
HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA
When we were kids we went to Tombstone and my dad got sore because a draft beer was 50 cents and a pack of Marlboros a quarter. Flip top box 26 Cents.
Dive Bar Casanova What would he think of the prices today?!!! My parents would have had a fit!
Is the ground really hard and stony there? Looks like digging a grave wasn't easy.
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.
I hope you’re gonna be checking out Bisbee, Coronado National Memorial, Carr Canyon, etc
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.
That place is definitely on my bucket list. Thanks for the phenomenal video, Adam. WOOHOO 🤗👏🤠
Amazing how it's been preserved. Bullet holes n' all.
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!
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.
Dragon Crackers what's a soldier to do?
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.
@horselover if there was work there for me I would live there today. I love that little city.
@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.
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 .
Great video
I hope you visit Bisbee next.
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.
Nice and Creative Videos， This is really my favorite channle.:).
I really glad to see your post and your world was so brilliant. 🌴🌴🌴
excellent and Much appreciated!!🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 from:

Olde Town Tuscon next?
6:28 I couldn’t stop laughing!!
lovely's
The people love those lovelies
Love love love your channel. You are so much fun! Thanks
You didn’t show the chocolate store “Death by chocolate “. It sells the must delicious fudge I’ve ever tried.
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
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!
Steve McQueen just came from there to The Magnificient Seven.
That moustache guy was the balm! Great eposode, Adam! Always fun and informative.
show us dodge city kansas wyatt earp was sheriff there before tombstone
I was just going to suggest that.
I was going to suggest the same thing. Boot Hill is defiantly worth looking into. And while you’re on you’re way, stop in Meade, KS to see the Dalton Gang Hideout and just west of Dodge City you can still see the wagon tracks of the Oregon Trail.
you're a daisy if you do... why johnny ringo, look's like some one just walked over your grave...made me cry in place's. i never been back since that sad day when leroy was gunned down outside the bird cage theatre. but i liked your video adam thank you for taking me back there i loved it...tomestone a town to tuff to die, or too tuff to die in..
Awesome Adam...i live in Sierra Vista AZ. Wish I knew you were coming out. Arizona is Awesome!!!!
You should visit the Mescal studio where they filmed Tombstone, the quick and the dead, outlaw josey wales.....awesome!!!!🤘🤘
I’m your chuckleberry turning heads into canoes and whatnot
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!
That stagecoach was legit
Tim trackerrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!
AC in the stage coach. lol. Yeah and power windows. Haha. That was cool bullet holes everywhere. As far as the fecal forgery ummm I would agree - straight counterfeit
Where's the grave that reads Arch Stanton?
Yippee! Yehaw! Hip Hip hoorah...yeah doggie
Unbelievable place. The woman doll at the Window is a little scary & i expected it would turn the head around to stare you down. 😁
Awsome that's not to far from where I live thanks for having me along adam
"Bartender, i'm looking for that no good, cheating blacksmith."
Gunfight happened next door to the coral..it is now a park. Where you pay to see it by Fremont St. is a tourist trap to pay for...the park is free....Also the boot hill cemetery is not "real" while yes it was part of it..the cemetery ran from the hill to the east. the street you drive on to get there..where all graves till the 80's when they dug some of them up and moved to the new cemetery to paved that exact road the name boothill doesnt mean its on a hill...every wild west town has a "boothill" just means you dies with your boots on, meaning you were a vagrant or gunfighter (not respectable).....If you walk from the road eastward...you will run into a bunch of graves with headboards in tact. From a local....give me a ring if you in the area. Ill show ya some real cool stuff
You're close to my home now. My two grandchildren just had a high school basketball competition in tombstone just a couple of weeks ago. This is the best time of year to visit the Southwest. I will assume you're going to stop by bisbee next? that's a strange town. just don't spend the night LOL
I got married in Bisbee. Didnt last
WoOoW .. Lester Moore : Worked For Wells Fargo Agent "Here lies Lester Moore, four slugs from a .44, no Les, no more". .. KILLED over a badly battered and mangled package, Dunstan ( Customer ) became enraged over the condition of it and an argument ensued. The argument quickly became heated and both men reached for their guns. Moore was shot four times from Hank Dunstan's gun
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.
And they couldn't Lynch Johnny bones??? I would have paid to see that.... Every hour...
I was traveling with my dad when he was a interstate truck driver (48 states) back when I was 14-15 yrs and we stopped at Tombstone AZ -- there I saw Johnny Crawford (Rifleman) feature performer and for the first time "Can-Can" girl dancers (equivalence to today's strippers back then) ... boy what an eye opener it was for a 14-15 yr old kid ...
LOL ...
After all the many times we've gone there ~ we've ALWAYS been disappointed!! Very hokey & slip-shod!! The only other place that compares to it's lousy entertainment is the UFO Museum in Roswell, NM.
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.
That Lester Moore headstone has a real history. Lester Moore was a Wells Fargo agent. He was killed over a crushed hat. On his way down with the 4th round, but on the way there he put 2 killing rounds in his opponent. They both died right in front of whats known today as Nora's Place. Next door to Doc Holiday's Saloon. Next time visit The Gunfight Palace. The TRUE history of Tombstone 5.0 rating on google. 4.8 on Trip Advisor.
Man, you keep showing me great places I want to check out! I'm visually impaired and can't drive. I'm just wondering if it's impossible to get around there without a car?
An English lady working the tour? How authentic...NOT!!
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)
I like Johnny Bones wonder how much he's selling them chicken bones for saying they're outlaw bones they're probably chicken bones
I like how Adam gets the old rickety stage coach instead of that pristine Wells Fargo looking one lol
Great video Adam the whoo!! It's fun to see you excited when you haven't been there before. You seem more interested?
Nice !👍
Thx Woo
Ol' Johnny put the X in Eccentric. ( -cessive?)
Personality fabrication galore in tom b stone. (d)
I am so disappointed. My family visited Tombstone in the 1960s and it was incredible. Much, much less commercial. You could just wander through town at your leisure and Boot Hill was free. We stayed in the motel across from the cemetary and Geromino's granddaughter was the manager and told us stories for about an hour.
Jewish Memorial ??!! SMH.... well, it is their "historical account".
Handicapped stash grooming is the result of the subject being too ugly to face the mirror. So sad... Tombstone was never covered in Better Homes and Gardens...
Cool Video as always that guy did look like Kurt Russell. Yeah Spike you remember Fresno Bob. Sorry wrong movie🎬
Nooooooo.. wish people would stop using animals. Not you, you were just there. Horses in heat pulling carriage there or New Orleans, Carolinas, or anywhere, using Donkey's, horse riding. Just hate it. 😠😭
Watching all these video from before March 2020. How lucky and Free we were then.
Tombstone Graveyard is such BS. Tourist trappy.
My cousin use to work there. I don't think he was a gunfighter but worked at ye olde Giftshoppe. If you ever get to Northern New Mexico you'll have to drop by the St. James hotel in Cimarron, they have a tin roof between the restaurant and the guest rooms upstairs because of all the shooting. They may even let you go see the haunted room (It's generally closed off to guests because of "occurrences")
You guys could do several episodes In Arizona. There is an old movie studio down near Tucson called Old Tucson. There is an impact crater near Winslow. Of course you can stand on the corner in Winslow, AZ and see the flatbed Ford. The Grand Canyon, Sedona, too many places too list.
How did people live out there before air conditioning and electricity AND with that uncomfortable 19th century clothing? It must have been unbearable.
Little too commercialized for me thanks , you would think it’s owned by Disney Corp
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!
David Steed try to visit Bodie California
