Boothill Cemetery is the first stop on our "Tombstone by the numbers" tour, where we go through all the stops in the Tombstone Restoration Commission book. Here we stop at the Boothill Cemetery gift shop and walk around the Butterfield gift shop. In future videos we go to all the stops listed in the Tombstone Restoration commission book.

Volume 02: In this video we tour the old jail and part of the main street where the old grocery store and possibly the car dealership was located. Notes since the video was made: The bars and doors from both the Courtland and Gleeson jails were repurposed for the Benson jail. Apparently, the same parts were repurposed earlier from the Bisbee jail for Courtland. The beams in the concrete roof of the jail were old railroad track. Courtland was another mining town from the old west. Like many of these towns, it had many amenities and was quite big and successful. It is located just on the other side of the mountains from Gleeson Arizona; just a few miles. Like most of these towns, it had quite a rich history. I thought I knew quite a bit about the place, but as you will see in the videos, I knew quite a bit less than I thought. A 1927 Sanborn map of the town can be found here: http://www.gleesonarizona.com/maps/Courtland_1927.pdf Maps, photos, news articles from Courtland can be found at the Library of Congress: https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/ https://www.loc.gov/collections/sanborn-maps/about-this-collection/ Special thanks to Ernie for giving me some good information, check out his website: http://azbackcountryadventures.com/ Joe Bono, the owner of the Gleeson jail has a very informative website about all the towns in the area.

Bisbee Arizona is a mining town or a former mining town that is now a hot spot for art and eclectic things. It is a definite destination for people looking for a fun time. The way into Bisbee from the north is through the Mule Pass Tunnel. This is just a quick video about the tunnel in and out of Bisbee. We will be doing future videos where we walk around Bisbee and see the sights. If you are ever in SE Arizona you must go to Bisbee.

Parts of this video are a bit choppy as it was filmed in time warp or time lapse and then altered to make it work. It works (kinda) but you will notice that it's not as smooth as it could be. We highlight certain areas, things and locations as we go by. When we got the GoPro, we experimented with different settings and different things. We have several videos of some of our drives around the state and into New Mexico. We like watching videos of driving, so we figured we would make our own with the footage we took.

Volume 01: In this video we visit the Big Rock Store, the Great Western Copper Company and the Foreman's Quarters, with the power plant ruins off in the distance on private property. We also seem some of the remnants of the water company pipes in the middle of Ghost Town Trail. Courtland was another mining town from the old west.

On one of our Sunday Drives, we were heading into New Mexico and we stopped at this monument and picnic area. The monument is for the surrender of Geronimo and the end of the Indian wars.

We were taking a drive through the desert and we ran into this guy sunning himself on the road.

In this video we visit the Gleeson Cemetery. Gleeson was an old west mining town. It was originally called Turquoise and the post office was established in 1890. In 1894, John Gleeson registered a copper claim and the town was renamed Gleeson and in 1900 the post office was opened. It's now a ghost town, with a few residents still living there. Joe Bono, who grew up in the town of Gleeson, owns the jail, which has been renovated and turned into a museum. Every first Saturday of the month, the jail is open to the public and the Bono family members give tours, tell stories of the old town etc. These are super nice people and we encourage anyone in the area to stop by and learn about this town. You might find that it had quite a bit more going on "old west" style than Tombstone or other notorious towns. We really want to thank the Bono family for being so gracious and kind and a special thanks to our tour guide Rene, who gave us a lot of history and insight into the town. We plan on going back once it cools down a bit and doing another tour.

In Part 05 we start at the site of Virgil Earp's house (now a BNB) and we head south on 1st Street to Toughnut Street. We then head east to the old Court House, passing old historic houses. We pass the Gunfighter Hall of Fame and Museum and Tombstone library which, I believe was the old train depot. We continue east past the "Good Enough" mine and end at Tombstone Engine Company Number 1, which is now the senior center. Tombstone has events going on all the time. On this day, it was the "Donkey Days". This is a fun competition where people run around a course with a donkey and try to get the best time. In addition, they have a competition to see who can scoop up the most donkey poop in the shortest period of time. Due to the number of kids in the events and the YouTube policies related to kids (which I didn't want to navigate), I decided to leave the Donkey Days out and just do a walk around town. In this video you will notice that we stop at several placards that tell the history of a specific spot. There are a few dozen of these markers around town. We have several videos coming out that we all "Tombstone by the numbers", where we visit each of these spots. The Tombstone Restoration Commission has created a book that outlines all of this history. I would encourage people to spend the $10 and get the book. The money goes to restoring old historical sites. You can even volunteer to help with the effort. In still more videos we are going to do indepth tours of many of these points.

In Part 04 we walk east on Fremont starting at the old livery to Shieflein hall, the old City Hall, Aztec house and then Wyatt Earp's house. Directly across the street from Wyatt Earp's house was the house of Pete Spence, a notorious criminal and member of the "cowboys" who was accused in the shooting of Virgil Earp, who, coincidentally, owned the house across 1st Street, just north of him. Tombstone has events going on all the time. On this day, it was the "Donkey Days". This is a fun competition where people run around a course with a donkey and try to get the best time.

Volume 03 We stop at the "Joe Bono" store, the store that was run by the father of current owner of the Gleeson jail and was where he grew up. We stop at the remains of the old warehouse. Gleeson had a movie theater, Chinese restaurant, new car dealership etc. We see "Bigfoot's" trailer. Richard Stokley (Bigfoot) and friend Randy Brazeal, kidnapped, raped and murdered two young girls from Elfrida in 1991. Stokley was executed in 2012 and Brazeal was released from prison in 2011 but died after hitting his head in 2021.

Volume 02 Gleeson, like most of the old west mining towns, is littered with mines, mine shafts etc. There are many mines around this area, some of them still active, this is just the most visible one. If you drive through the area and happen to be on Gleeson Rd, you can easily see these old mining works. Gleeson was an old west mining town. It was originally called Turquoise and the post office was established in 1890.

Volume 01: We visit the Gleeson Jail and Museum. This jail was identical to the one in the nearby ghost town of Courtland. At some point in the 1930s, the county needed parts for the jail in Benson, so county workers scavenged them from the jails in Courtland and Gleeson. We have located the missing parts of these jails and we show them in our upcoming videos about Courtland and Benson Arizona.

In this video: This summit is in the same range as the last summit. It was almost Mrs. Bumpkin's last hike. We see some antelope on the way out. This is a nice large and shady summit. There are old signs of a smuggler's lookout, but no sign of anything new. It was a nice hike. About the series: This is a series of hiking videos where I also include some amateur radio. If you like hiking up mountains and desert scenery, these should be some fun videos for you. If you like amateur radio, portable and remote activating, summits on the air, parks on the air etc, these videos have that too.

Bonita Arizona is an unincorporated area in Graham County Arizona. The Bonita Store in this video was at one point a saloon, where William Bonny (Billy the Kid) shot a blacksmith for bullying him. There isn't much left now, other than the store. It is located a few miles from Fort Grant, which is now a large prison complex. Klondyke Arizona was founded around 1900 by some miners that came back from the Klondike Alaska gold rush. It is known for the Power's Cabin Shootout where four people were killed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power%27s_Cabin_shootout https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klondyke,_Arizona The Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness can be accessed from Klondyke Arizona. There is a forest service office there and they only allow a limited number of hikers per day. The nature conservancy manages a large part of the area and permission is needed to be on their property. https://www.nature.org/en-us/get-involved/how-to-help/places-we-protect/aravaipa-canyon-preserve/ https://www.blm.gov/visit/aravaipa-canyon-wilderness In a future video we plan on staying at a local BnB and doing the Power Cabin hike as well as visiting the cemetery.

Arizona had many old forts and encampments dating back to the civil and Indian wars. Most of these camps and/or their remains are on private property, Fort Bowie being one of the exceptions. This wasn't a planned trip, we did the fort, but did not get to the cemetery, stage station etc; we will do a future video about those. In 1886, after the Apache were subdued, the fort was used as a travelers' stop until it was abandoned in 1894. In 1911 the property was sold at auction and in 1964 it was turned into a National Historic site. This is part 02 of a two part series. A third part will be done later to get the spots we missed in these two.

During the winter tens of thousands of cranes can be seen (and heard) in this area. We took a trip out there and saw the cranes, ducks etc. We saw more cranes in the pecan orchards along the way. The video of the cranes themselves isn't that great, it was mostly filmed on a GoPro and phones...It is what it is. https://awcs.azgfd.com/conservation-opportunity-areas/terrestrial/whitewater-draw-state-wildlife-area https://aziba.org/?page_id=698 Like and Subscribe animation: Michael Yakimelin @ pexels.com 00:00 Walk around the draw 06:39 Cranes flying to pecan orchards 07:55 Cranes in the pecan orchards 10:45 More cranes a town over

Arizona had many old forts and encampments dating back to the civil and Indian wars. Most of these camps and/or their remains are on private property, Fort Bowie being one of the exceptions. This wasn't a planned trip, we did the fort, but did not get to the cemetery, stage station etc; we will do a future video about those. In 1886, after the Apache were subdued, the fort was used as a travelers' stop until it was abandoned in 1894. In 1911 the property was sold at auction and in 1964 it was turned into a National Historic site. This is part 01 of a two part series. A third part will be done later to get the spots we missed in these two.

After a couple of attempts, we finally reached the summit of 4F Benchmark in the Dragoon mountains. We started this hike at the same point where the Confederate Graves are located. About 8 miles round trip.
