    2016 – A Day in the Movies

    Old Tucson is the set location of many western movies and TV shows, both recent and vintage.

    We spent an entire day here, and found it to be better presented and much more interactive than Tombstone.

    Streets of the old west
    Featured in many movies
    We loved this TV show
    Hubs stepped back in time
    Petroglyphs
    Nice spot for a rest
    Water features were soothing
    The Stage was getting ready to pull out
    All actors were engaging and informative
    This gunfight was very realistic
    I rounded a corner and was met by this fella
    You can take the boy off the farm …
    Can you do the can-can?
    The stunt guys were fabulous!
    Missouri’s most wanted
    The plank sidewalks added to the realistic feel
    Many of the buildings were 3-d vs false fronts
    This guy was one of my fave actors

    If you’re visiting the area, and you’re a fan of western movies and TV shows, I’d highly recommend setting aside a day to see Old Tucson. You won’t be disappointed.

    2016 – A Crazy Travel Year

    While searching my Amazon photos app (by year) to find when we visited Old Tucson, AZ … I arrived at 2016 and said “Wow!” right out loud.

    That year was an absolutely crazy travel year for us!

    It may have had a wee bit to do with the fact that this was our first full year of retirement together, so we were in “yahoooo” mode.

    For the next unknown number of Wednesdays I’ll recap some of the many hilights of that year, through a feature photo and a brief description.

    This feature photo was taken in Old Tucson, AZ … in … you guessed it … 2016!
