	I saw the last two on a cross-country trip with my parents in the early 80s. Mesa Verde is pretty amazing, if if only seen from afar.+ The Arch on the other hand is utterly meh. St Louis has to be the worst city I've ever spent more than 5 minutes in. Humid, dirty, crumbling. I'd like to think it's recovered in the past 25 years, but I'm not sure.

	Next: The O. K. Corral Location: Tombstone, Arizona, USA Reason: Scene of the Wild West's most famous gunfight The famous gunfight took place in a small lot behind the corral. Tombstone was founded by a silver strike in 1877. It was often violent, and at the time of the gunfight, Virgil Earp was sheriff and Morgan and Wyatt were his deputies. They decided to disarm some of the outlaws in town (it was illegal to carry arms in the town), and they killed Billy Clanton and two others, while Morgan, Virgil and Doc Holliday were injured.

	I went there once, before I moved out to Tucson, and from what I hear it's gotten pretty wretched to visit Tombstone, what with the dirt roads and all. Not to mention the paper mache dummies, which they still have, over 10 years after I went. Really, the entire site isn't done the justice it deserves. -----signature----- "Six bullets.

	They just discussed Tombstone, AZ, on Ghost Adventures. They reenacted the gunfight at the OK Corral to try and rile up the spirits that still reside within the city. I've never been myself, but I have visited Doc Holliday's grave in Glenwood Springs, CO. It's really neat, everyone leaves poker chips, cards, etc, rather than flowers. The whole Wyatt Earp/Doc Holliday legend is one of my favorite stories of the Old West. I'd love to see Tombstone someday--the OK Corral, the Bird Cage Theatre, all of it. -----signature----- Yeah, I have my own icon.

	I like the poker chip idea...does anyone live in Tombstone now, or is it a ghost town?

	Well, I imagine the main drag has been preserved, but it's been built up around. There are people who still work there as curators, etc. -----signature----- Yeah, I have my own icon. Visit the Callista Fans Thread http://boards.theforce.net/eu_community/b10194/23653771/p1
