**Welcome to another blog post first published in my Exploring Amazing Arizona blog page. Please check them all out! exarizonagobensonbobcats.blogspot.com **
Howdy folks! So once again I am not posting the Exploring blog I was planning on posting tonight----but I am posting! And once again my computer is not my friend --so this picture filled post-is taking about three times as long as it ever should. ;) More our great Internet service, but I won't be picky here. Today after running some errands I again found myself right up the road in wonderful Tombstone! I knew it was going to be a very busy weekend but a free car was- enticed me. Each and every time I go to Tombstone I get new and different pictures. Kind of like good ol Bisbee Arizona! And today was certainly no exception to that. We have multiple posts from Tombstone, please do a search and check them all out. You will not be disappointed. I believe EVERY post from Tombstone has a picture of the old court house. Such am amazing building. I had to climb on a big rock in the parking lot to get today's shot.
Caffeine filled as always!
The reason for today!
Although I was not up to paying to see this huge -world's famous rose bush today.
This town also has the worlds best slogan.
Even when holding a rose festival.
So- as I entered town, by chance, the parade was about to start
People were fighting over parking spots
And this is my parking spot.
I drove down past the historic old court house just below The Chuck Wagon
eatery and --my own parking lot. Hardly a walk up to the festivities.
Just sayin'
Just beside were I parked
I don't think they use this or the ghost town just beside this much---
But I was very sad to see all the graffiti on this building.
Just in time for the parade
A similar float I did not capture said "mail order brides' on the back.
The closest gent is a standard in town.
With his own Facebook page.
With spring not fully downloaded in many parts of the country-and snow storms in the west even today, it grew kind of warm out today.
You can kind of catch this feeling by the sun rays in many of today's pictures.
At any rate I found actual shady spots several times to enjoy the parade from.
The tractor with the yellow rims had flames going down the side!
Not a fight but dancing!
When I dance, they call the local paramedics
because they think I am having a seizure! ;)
Caught up with this pointing bandit later for a close up...
I believe he told me he makes moonshine in his bathtub and toilet
If anyone is interested.
Long pauses in the parade made it seem longer.
Just behind me the fire department was called.
I am not sure if this elderly man was a little tipsy or just fell---
but the metal fence just out of this picture stopped his head.
The real reason many were here!
The real reason I was here!
Window signs.
Rub my belly!
Inside one of the less crowded shops I ventured into.
Sign says no parking, but I think he parked to long.
His buddy that works for the museum
Wrong kind of Mustangs filled the streets
This is my game at the casino! A constant win every pull. Just look for the big flashing sign with the letters ATM
OK this was in Tombstone obviously but I have never seen this flashy sign before
and the mix of old and new --I liked.
So originally I found out this thrift store was doing a free car wash---excepting donations of course.
The place advertises all the time and seems to really give back to the community--rare in this day and age.
Today was my first visit here---and I was really impressed.
Tombstone Treasures ---is today's business of the week---that does not know I am promoting them!
All around impressed with my visit.
Freaking find of the month! ---At the above thrift store. Framed and matted $4!! Now to date myself.... Way back when I was a kid and went to New York I went to the top of one of these buildings. Never forget!
As always
**HAPPY TRAILS!!**
