On January 13th 1929, Wyatt Earp died in Los Angeles at the age of 80. Cowboy actors Tom Mix and William S. Hart were among his pallbearers. Wyatt’s cremated ashes were buried in Josie’s family plot in Colma, California, just south of San Francisco. When Josie died in 1944 at the age of 75, she was buried there beside him.

I visited this town a few years ago for a friend’s birthday, he had no plans so I decided to come and visit. We didn’t do a whole lot of sight-seeing since he had a bad toothache and it was that time of the month for me (I was hardly in the mood to do much of anything), but I still had a good time and would like to go back to try and see more than I did. As soon as I got home, the first thing my parents asked was if the people I met had all their teeth. Yes, as far as I could tell. Freakin’ stereotypes. :P

I visited Idyllwild for a wedding, and loved being there. I couldn’t believe how clear the air was, though it was a little too clear for me considering I’m used to breathing Los Angeles smog. The night I got there and the next morning, I had a horrible case of altitude sickness, since the town’s in the San Jacinto mountains. Lots of water, two aspirin, and some rest cleared my head up just fine.
