To get here we drove through the Tucson Mountain Park on curvy, up and down roads just like a roller coaster. This place is so cool. Erected in 1939, this replica of 1860s Tucson was the location for more than 350 films and TV shows and is still in use today. We saw the gunfight in front of the old hotel, watched the show in the old Playhouse of the music from many films and saw a John Wayne tribute. We took a train ride around the entire area, passing an old train and a wagon like the ones the early pioneers used to come out west. I even stood in a coffin outside U.S. Marshall's office with 2 gunslingers beside me, next to the gallows. There was something going on at all times.
