Tombstone Trip Report


The Nanowrimo class went to a small town called Tombstone last week. The drive was long but it was worth it. We did several things in Tombstone. We went to an interesting play about the wild west shootout at the O.K. Corral. We went to a graveyard where we could see the grave sites of the people of Tombstone. And, we saw a movie explaining the long history of the town. We stayed in some pretty nice cabins. To finish the whole thing off, because we are creative thinkers and writers, we told ghost stories. Tombstone was a good place to tell ghost stories because there are many legends who continue to walk the land of Tombstone. Tombstone is a very interesting town, even with all of its up and downs. Tombstone is called the town too tough to die.
