I have of course seen Tombstone a few times, but this is the first time I've really wanted to know more about the characters, the true people that the movie was based on. So I've been doing some reading.
While doing so I stumbled acorss Virgil Earp's buriel site, which is in Portland, Oregon. I lived there pretty much for eighteen years and had no idea that someone so famous, or part of so many stories was buried practically in my backyard.
See, you learn something new everyday.

Have you ever been to Tombstone in Arizona? Pretty much a tourist trap.

@JohnRoberts Nope, not that I can remember and I am pretty sure that I would remember that. Have you been?
