Arizona is full of places to stop and see. On my map of the national parks and monuments it's overloaded (at least compared to Kansas and Oklahoma). On our way back from Tucson, we were going to stop at another monument, but decided to swing through to check out Tombstone. Having seen the movie (a few times), it seemed at least worth checking out. Surprisingly, it was pretty busy with a ton of stuff to see (even on a random Wednesday in March). It also happened to be extremely cold for those of us traveling up from South Texas. But we made the best of it, did a silver mine tour, checked out the gift shops, and walked the old town street. We even saw the world's largest rose bush! And that was Becky's idea, since they were selling buds from the bush you could take home to plant. Apparently they live a while, because the one in Tombstone was planted in 1885. So it was well worth taking the scenic drive to see the town.
