Say what you will, this town has maintained authentic western history, it comes with a price. You should have asked some of those people about the bars you were in, chances are some of the actual bars in the saloons are the real deal from 1860's. Some of the most friendly people wanting to share the history.
I was there in the spring of 1965 when I was 13 years old. Passing through on my way from Alaska to Virginia. I know it is out of the way, but my dad was in the Army moving from one posting to another. He wanted me and my younger siblings to see some country, so we were going to visit Disneyland ( closed on the day we were supposed to go ), Marineland and Tombstone. Tombstone was a tourist town then as well, but much more rustic. I think I liked it better then.
Love your videos Ms Hussy. Was stationed at Fort Huachuca a few years back and made many trips to Tombstone and plenty of other old west towns. Cool area.
Headed to Tombstone right now. Totally agree with your comments on Patriotism. It does not belong to one party or the other... or one side of the political spectrum
A three legged Dog walks into a Bar,,,,Bartender says,"Hey,we don't allow no dogs in this here Bar",,Dog replies,"No problem Barkeep, I'm just here a lookin' fer the Man that shot my Paw" Thank you, Thank you,I'm here every Wednesday! LMAO C-Ya!,,,,Peace!
Here's another one: an atom neutron walks into a bar. It orders a drink, finishes the drink, and says to the bartender, "How much do I owe you?" The bartender says, "For you, no charge."
GnatMan Allin Two atoms are walking down the street. One says, "I think I'm missing an electron. The other one says, "Are you sure?" He says, "I'm positive."
when people tell you that they don't like things, about you,or whatever,just turn the other check,and smile at them,because your smile is just capturing,and their're jealous bye
Oh, in the men's room. The urinals are in the shape of kegs. I think its that bar, but its defiantly one of them around there. Got pretty drunk. And there was an abandoned arena behind it with a fake ghost town as a stage set.
Early in the 20th century my Grandfather knew Wyatt Earp in Los Angeles. I never met my grandfather but my Mom tells me that ol' Wyatt was a cold and quiet man. Really good Tombstone travelogue!
The Red River "D" belt buckle appeared in ONLY 9 of his movies between 1948 - 1970. Rio Bravo (1959) North to Alaska (1960) Hatari (1962) McClintock! (1963) Circus World (1964) The Sons Of Katie Elder (1965) El Dorado (1967) The War Wagon (1967) Rio Lobo (1970) Between four o'clock on the afternoon of September 24, 1981 and one o'clock in the afternoon on September 25, 1981 the John Wayne Red River D belt buckle was stolen from Bohlins and has not resurfaced to this day. And something else, John Wayne never wore the buckle with his initials on, he always wore the buckle with HWH, HWH stood for Howard Winchester Hawks.
I remember being offered a photo album to buy filled with war photos from the Desert Storm a few years after that war ended. A soldier must have taken them with his own personal camera. Most of them were photos that must have been taken just after places got bombed. There were many of military vehicles and cars all burned out with the people all burned to a crisp inside them looking like they died screaming. The drivers and passengers were still sitting upright in almost every photo. Others photos were of bodies on the ground all burned up. Some were of IRAQ soldiers of shot up into pieces of meat , blown up people, pieces of body parts and guts and even some that were ran over by tanks crushed into goo. Some photos were during fighting I remember seeing a helicopter flying low being fired on and just ready to be rained down on by all kinds of small rockets for something. The photographer got the shots just before it got hit while people were fighting on the ground below not to far from it. It was pretty gory to see so many photos of dead people who died so horrifically but that's war. Yes war is pretty nasty. I am very thankful for those who have served and sacrificed for the rest of us. After seeing photos like that you realize you can never give them enough respect and thanks for their service and sacrifice.
Go, it’s a lot of fun and very interesting. My attitude toward Wyatt Earp changed a bit after learning more about the feud between them and the Clanton’s.
On hats: Most inexpensive straw hats are made from rice straw. But real straw hats can get wet and laid flat will be good as new. And THOSE are expensive, but last far longer than wet rice straw hats. Gonna be expensive in a tourist town too. On fit: there are round and long oval hats. Maybe more shapes, but those seem most common. Your probably long oval, so a round hat wont fit. Also, depends on how you plan to wear your hair. I bought all my Stetsons at a 6th gen shop in Houston called Shultes which no longer exists downtown. Moved to a facility to help folks learn a trade.
I'm a AZ native. I haven't been to Tombstone for over 40 years. I want to take my son there. It is GREAT to see it is still up and thriving. Love all your vids, please keep it up. Big fan. Love you.
Great video’s! You should call them “Nevada’s Silver!” Like Huell Howser did “California Gold” you make everything really interesting! Thanks for sharing!
I love this old town. I first was here as a kid back in the early 1970s. Everything was still the same when I went back to visit back in 2016. The only thing I had was unusual was a shadow figure that woke me up at 0400 in the morning at the baseball diamond at the school and across from the public bathrooms across the street. I saw it for about 10 seconds and it turned to walk away as it woke me up. I got up from my truck in the driver's seat and was gone. Heard nothing and saw nothing. Very creepy. I had a steak and eggs breakfast at the O.K. Café and asked if there were anything unusual about where I slept at? They said no. Because people from out of town and towns folks see all kinds of strange things at night when staying at Tombstone at night. Very nice to walk around the town at night before sleeping I think does run a person's imagination before bedding down. Honestly more stuff goes down in Las Vegas NV than any wild west town like Tombstone.
Hi Sarah! Great little short video of your visit :) I have visited this place twice within the last 30 days. Once about 3 or so weeks ago by myself, then again on Monday 1/4 with a buddy of mine. Very cool historic mining town. We watched the gunfight show at the Old Tombstone Western Theme Park. We almost did the OK corral show, but decided on the other one instead. Had lunch at the Crystal Palace saloon. Enjoyed some fish n chips and a Sioux City Sarsaparilla :) There is a stand on I believe 4th street, that sells "Tombstone Sarsaparilla", and it is served frosty cold ;) That hat shop you visited, I peeked inside as I was walking down Allen street, but didn't actually go in. But I remember that big rack of hats. There is another place in town also that sells hats and other "western wear." Glad you had fun on your visit. Oh, we also visited Boot Hill Cemetery as we were on our way out of town.
Hey “Wonderhussy”, Why is frito pie so good? The idea of such a meal weirds me out. But I gotta weird Aussie meal for ya. How’s about wrapping your laughing gear full of what we Aussies call a “pie - floater”? It looks bad but tastes yum. It’s a hot meat pie served upside down in a bowl of hot thick pea soup. I usually add some tomato sauce to mine and it’s freakin yum yum!👍🇦🇺🤪😄
I was there about 9 years ago. Really enjoyed it. I hope you went to Boot Hill Cemetery while you were there. Some of the tombstone inscriptions are pretty amusing.
So people who studied the writings of Burke, Locke, Smith and the hundreds of other philosophers of the enlightenment who believe that the Individual not the Collective is what makes a just society are not thinkers?. Any thinking person would not buy into the progressive utopian scheme for control.
Wonder Sarah, Ellie Siennick was a WM, Woman Marine, not a WAC. Women’s Army Corps. HUGE DIFFERENCE!!! 😁🇺🇸❤️😁 Semper Fi! Now I’m going to check how many OTHER Marines called you on this. LOL!
I love hats and I don't think I could've walked out of that place without a new one. By the way; you looked hot as hell trying them on and it's a damn shame ya couldn't get one. You're right about war being hell. I'm a 6 year Army vet who never got deployed (thank god) but I have many friends who have; including my own son. The stories I have heard are truly terrible. Anyways, I'm enjoying your travel vids and looking forward to the next one. Stay safe out there and have a blast doing it.
You said war is hell while you was in Tombstone and yes it is from a Vietnam Vet and I am still fighting but this time it is just to stay alive . But still enjoy your videos.
Wonder Hussy, You are a patriot of the highest level. Not because l agree with you every time, 'cuz I don't always agree with you. However, I do agree and admire the way you live your life and present yourself. You make a living doing what you like, not just what came next like most of the population. You disagree with people without being judgemental. You go girl. Keep on keeping on!!
You should have gone into the museum. They have alot of great old guns.....there are two guns still unaccounted for from the OK CORRAL gun fight. You find them and sell them to the museum owner, you will make out $$$$$$$$$ Did you go into the little restaurant between where the gunfights take place and the museum? They have a steak omelette that is so big it took 30 minutes to eat it!
Its my dream to visit tombstone. Nice trip over from ireland. Enjoy your videos. This one showed me lots of tombstone and regretably the expensive cost of it all
I live here in Arizona, and it is my dream to visit Ireland! I will go someday, I have family history there. I have to say that Tombstone is not that great. It has a lot of interesting history, but they have turned it into a big gift shop and a silly tourist attraction. There are many, many much more AMAZING places in Arizona. Tombstone is only worth it if you are very interested in old west history.
I guess that you are on your way to Daytona. Love you Wonderhussy! Keep the video's coming, I really enjoy them. Please keep talking, your very entertaining !
You are a great RU-vid narrative video creator Wonder. If you should ever head up D.C. way give notice ;) would love to host a tour of real Decay .. I know you dig Frank Zappa, there's a Frank Zappa way in Baltimore.. he was from Glen Burnie MD. Take care look forward to more from you!
tombstone is off the beaten path. not on the way to anywhere. onthe other side of that mountain, the mule mountain I have a 2.5 acre ranchette in Elfrida. off 191. probably wont ever get to see it again. 20 mins as the crow flies 2.5 hrs if you drive back through bisbee
Just to let you know I watched the where you lived in those five different joints I was general manager of Palace when OJ did his crap and I did commercials about guys stealing the memorabilia the buffet is a such a good deal and then that other place you worked at the the Mardi Gras you want to make a lot of money cuz I know what I do that place sucked
haha just because we hear it all the time. thought I might teach you something's. one most of them aren't paid actors that's actually just there jobs. you know like the gift shops in parks. Two big nose Kate didn't get that name for her nose. She got that name for being in everyone's business. so please if you come back to tombstone allow us to give you some history or at least a history book.
As one who grew up in Tombstone, Arizona, I find your observation of it being only a “kitschy, tourist town” not only condescending, but also untrue. There is a rich yet violent history of both the town and its former citizens. Those signs you saw stating where people died are historically accurate. So maybe the next time you’re patronizing a historical location, try not to have a patronizing attitude.
People have to earn a living, and making that living in tourism is far better than sucking off the taxpayers teat. As for "ancient lore" I have two comments. My great grandfather who died when I was 16 was alive at that time. That is not "ancient" but living history. And as far as the "lore" goes tombstone has a wealth of documentation verifying the history with not only official documents and newspaper articles (Tombstone had the first newspaper and photography studio in the AZ territory), but many letters and memoirs of the people living at the time Even the court records of the OK Corral gunfight when the Earps were put on trial survive. Tombstone was the county seat for a while after all. If you cannot appreciate the history of the town that shows more about you than the good people who earn their keep there.
How many girls could've correctly identified that US flag as a Gadsden flag!? I've wanted to comment a few times on a couple other of this chicks videos just on how super smart she is...but I held back...This girl is really really smart. It's pretty impressive.
Wonderhussy-----we love your videos we have enjoyed many of them some we watch more than one time----------we have tried to watch some lately but had to stop because of bad language---my question is could you please give us a warning at the start of your video so us and our kids will not have to hear the bad language--------the videos without the bad language we love the ones with we cannot watch------------Thank You
RU-vidrs on budgets should stay out of Tombstone. PS: You could have worked a couple of nights at the birdcage if you needed extra cash but you would have been up against some pretty stiff competition.
Love your videos and your hussyness but do you have to drag your personal politics into these videos, bad enough we hear biased news everyday. Keep up the good work anyhow.
Wonder Hussy ...is Highly Artistic , Well-Informed , Intelligent and very well-traveled ...so is it any wonder that she wouldn't appreciate Jingoistic Flag-waving Gun-Toting Trump- Supporting Bullshit ? Personally I would find it VERY Strange if an Artistic person like Hussy didn't say something about the silliness that's become the Norm in America ....
And just what is the matter with wanting a secure southern border, so we can enjoy the rich Mexican heritage that they are bringing here to trash our country like they did theirs?
She and I have similar and dissimilar beliefs. But I like her reporting style and she's easy on the eyes. So just relax and let her tell you about herself. That's the best compliment for a woman.
Stetson hats are cool been wanting one for sometime but they are expensive. Would liked to have seen more but as you you commented it appears you are nickeled and dimed for everything.
