Nonie and Grande took us to Old Tucson for the day. Very fun place! It's been a movie/TV set for almost every Western show or movie made in modern times. (Too numerous to mention!) I was surprised to find Little House on the Prairie was filmed there too! I guess with carefully disguised cacti Arizona will pass for Wisconsin?! The buildings in the "town" area would be very familiar to anyone who has seen the show. It was very fun to turn a corner and exclaim "Oh my gosh, that building is from The Three Amigos!".
In between filming, it is like a mini-amusement park with costumed actors wandering the streets playing out famous gun battles of the Old West. As seen below....
Will was cranky. He perked up a bit when we bought him his own Sheriff's badge and pistol. Not that you can tell from this photo.
I wanted to take my pictures of the buildings and play "guess the show this has been in" but my camera batteries died unexpectedly.
