: Good for you! Tombstone is a wonderful place to visit with lots of fun history! Perhaps you can find the time to hike to the old Clanton Ranch also. Not much is left since the U.D.A.'s started a fire last May which destroyed the old Ghost Town of Lewis Springs and went up the river and took more of our history by burning the corral at the Clanton Ranch. It is off of Escapule Road drive about 1 mile and on the right is a gate for hikers. It is well marked. Also off of Middle March Road is a place called Council Rock. This is where Cochise and his tribe hid from "white man" and planned what to do next. It is a cave of rocks. Any old timers can give you directions there. If you drive on Charleston Road you can park your car at the bridge. Before you get to the bridge on your left you will see the remains of Millville. It is well worth hiking too. There are some petroglyphs on the rocks heading north behind Millville. Well enjoy your trip!

: You probably already know that T-stone is one of many ghosts in that area. Bisbee (must-see), Dos Cabezas, and several others are worth the trip if you have the time.
