Trivial Tuesday

Here are some Arizona trivia...
*The only place where Arizona trout are found? Arizona!
*In Arizona, it is against the law for donkeys to sleep in bathtubs.
*The official state fossil? Petrified wood. Most of it is found in the Petrified Forest in NE Arizona.
*The official state neckwear? The bola tie.
*The largest freshwater striped bass caught in Arizona was at Bullhead City (in the Colorado River). It weighed 59 lbs. 12 oz.
*In Globe, Arizona you may not play cards in the street with a Native American.
*The famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral did NOT occur at the O.K. Corral. When the Earps and the Clantons shot it out in Tombstone, Arizona in 1881, their famous battle took place in a vacant lot between Fly’s Photograph Gallery and the Harwood house on Tombstone’s Fremont Street. The O.K. Corral was located nearby, however, and somehow its name became attached to the famous shootout.
*The movie, "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral" was shot in Tucson, not Tombstone.

Blessings. Have fun.
