Old Tucson-February 15, 2013

What a fun day we had today! The weather was fabulous for a long walk through Old Tucson. We were shocked at the number of movies, weekly tv series and soap operas filmed here. It goes way beyond dozens. They had the costumes worn by many of the famous stars and they were all very tiny people except Dan Blocker from Bonanza. He was a big boy!! I'll let some pictures speak for themselves.

Main Street

 

The Sheriff's office was just an empty building

 

This is one of the several free rides through Old Tucson. We decided against it when we saw that people were packed inside like sardines. We took the train instead which made one big loop.

The rest of the entire movie set we saw on foot.

 

This was only a facade. It was the scene of a fun performance for some local actors.

 

You can't have a fear of heights and be this actor.

 

This guy was nuts. It was a long way to the bottom.

 

What a treat to see water in the middle of this film location which is in the middle of the desert.

 

I cannot tell you in print how much we enjoyed today. I wish you all could visit Old Tucson.
