- A visit to Tombstone Arizona to check out the Birdcage Theatre , OK Corral and Boot Hill among many other historical landmarks .
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
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!!
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.
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.
Love love love your channel. You are so much fun! Thanks
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 .
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!
Good to see you and Co D together again! Great little adventure in an old west tourist town!
Excellent vlog. Good to see you doing these trip vlogs. You have a real gift for finding interesting places. I love tombstone.
Very interesting as your road trips always are. Thank you Adam great vlog!
Awesome Adam...i live in Sierra Vista AZ. Wish I knew you were coming out. Arizona is Awesome!!!!
Went there in 2013 with my dad
It was wonderful
Thank you for the video
Seriously the best travel info channel You seem like the guy next door. Upbeat, knowledgeable, literal, awesome speaking voice & easy on the eyes. 👍🏼
I wish you could have gone to Tombstone 30 years ago before it was so commercialized! Those were the days!
Thanks Adam and Cody. Enjoying the ride with you guys... 🤠
That place is definitely on my bucket list. Thanks for the phenomenal video, Adam. WOOHOO 🤗👏🤠
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
My son is the stagecoach driver, cool to see him on one of your videos.
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 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!
Awsome that's not to far from where I live thanks for having me along adam
I have seen many videos of tombstone, but yours was real thorough you showed many things that others have passed by. Thanks
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 very awesome vlog at Tombstone Arizona. Very nice wild west town!!
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.
Very interesting! Great video. Thanks for sharing!
On my bucket list. Thanks for the tour!
What an amazing place! Great video Adam. Thank you and safe travels.👍🏼😎🤘🏼
Tombstone is freaking awesome. I love that place and I love how they have not modernized it and kept it almost the same.
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.
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.
As always, a wonderful glimpse into the past! Thank you!
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 gave you a big 👍🏼, one of your finest pieces of work Adam Woo !!!!!
I have been and will be back in may
Had a lot of fun there in the shops and restaurants. .and the show at the o.k corral was great fun
Thanks for your log I enjoyed this
Oh this is classic Woo! Keep rockin' and rollin' along on this great journey ATW and stay safe. Great vlog.
That moustache guy was the balm! Great eposode, Adam! Always fun and informative.
I love your cross country trip videos!! They are my favorite on UA-cam.
You are doing my "bucket list". My spouse isn't going to let that happen. The route 66 trip lived my dream
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!
Great vlog! Looks like a lot of fun! So much to do there. The carriage ride looked interesting.
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?
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.
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!!
This is on my bucket list.. cant wait to visit.
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!!!
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.
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.
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! 😁
Loved the tour of tombstone, AZ. Hope to visit there one day.
Thanks for the ride along Adam.
It's worth being on the road another half hour to visit Bisbee, a real gem of a picturesque mining town.
Hi Adam thats very 😎 looking place awesome video hope you're having a great trip keep up the great Job
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 was here in 2006+7 and loved it. Great video 👍🏻
Been waiting years for you to go to tombstone. I been there once. But I'm site I missed alot. And you never miss details.
I was here as a kid at least once (I think more than once) in the mid 80s. Your video is really bringing back some old memories.
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
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.
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.
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.
Cool vid Adam. N I gotta say I loved that Tobmstone shirt that was cool!!!
Wow this is awesome. Love seeing the world through your eyes. We lived in Arizona for awhile but never made to Tombstone, we went close though. We lived a place called Mesa, Arizona.
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.
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.
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!
10:23 I so want to vist the Bird Cage Theatre and would be super awesome to get a chance to investigate it since it has so much activity, and i enjoyed the episode when the Ghost Adventures crew investigated it! Even though it will be a long drive for me coming from Maryland it will definitely be worth it!
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
I road the red one and is amazing how smooth it rides ..more smooth the one imagines.like a caddy smooth..
Visited Tombstone a few years ago. This video brings back some great memories. We took a personal walking tour with Dr. Bob or Doug, can't remember his name but, he was alleged to be the foremost authority on Tombstone. As we introduced ourselves I learned he was from Teanack New Jersey, a stones throw from where I grew up!!! As for the tour it was great. We loved our stay in the town. I believe we ate twice at Big Nose Kate's Saloon where every tv in the establishment showed the movie Tombstone continuously! Great fun. I recommend visiting Tombstone to any western fan.
Bob Kaden I think he got shot down a few years ago outside of bird cage? :(
This is the best video I've seen on this topic.
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.
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!
Thank you....a great day.
Loved it. One of my favs. Thanks Adam!
I have such great childhood memories going to tombstone! This is great😆
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
Holy crap that was your first time!? If I’d have known I would have forced you to go forever ago with me
Great video and series, sir.
I would so like to go there. Great video as always Adam[ Thank you
This is so amazing for me. I love the western movies. I will definitely check it out.
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!
Tombstone is so fun. Glad you’re enjoying Arizona, Adam. Great video!
This brings back memories. I used to live 16 miles from Tombstone back in the 90s. Great job and thank you Adam the Woo!! :)
Lucky you
Excited for this video! So glad you came to my home state! I’ve lived in Tucson, AZ my whole life but never been to Tombstone
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!.
That looks like it was a fun day in Tombstone! Glad you enjoyed the stagecoach ride.
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.
8:30 That Marshall definitely had a Kurt Russell vibe! Never been to Tombstone but hope to go someday. Thanks for the look ahead Adam & Co D.🤠🐎🌵 (And who knew that Jimmy Crack Corn was Honest Abes favorite song? Fascinating)
He did for sure
my parents live there in Tombstone, I love that little town.
Look at the weird mermaid in the glass case at the Birdcage. Don't forget to get a beer at the Crystal Palace Saloon! Cool vlog The Daily Woo! I was there 30 years ago!
Awesome job on this video Adam!
Tfs..sweet...Happy Sunday..been enjoying the vlogs👍..love the 🏜
Great vlog. Thank you Adam 4 taking us along. A lot of history there. What do you want on your Tombstone? 😆
Such a good video adam. Thanks!
Tombstone is on my bucket list, I’ve enjoyed your Americana adventures, often marathon style watching on Roku so have not commented, but I’m a fan
Your best yet. Well done. Ted from Connectiucut
I was there when I was about 3 years old with my parents in 1969. Johnny Cash was there filming a movie. I still remember it.
