Good Enough Mine Tour, Tombstone, Az

There is now a tour of Good Enough Mine, a silver mine in Tombstone.  Cost of tour is $12 per senior, $15 per adult.  (a little too much I think)  Anyway, we walked down the mine with our tour guide, who was really quite good.  He demonstrated how they used a hammer and metal bar to make the holes for the dynamite.  Lots of work.  We were able to see how the miners followed the veins through the mine.  Tour lasted for about an hour.
