Tombstone

Just one more serendipity of the trip was that October 26 happened to be the 125th anniversary of the gunfight at the OK Corral and we happened to be on a day trip to Tombstone that day! The streets of Tombstone were full of visitors in full costume who took in the events along with us. It couldn't have been more colorful!

The whole town is in old-west character. Many of the buildings are original. The only thing we missed was Guy having a wiskey at Big Nose Kate's saloon. It was just a little too early. . .

The highlight, of course, was the shootout at the OK Corral. We had good seats for the 12:30 re-enactment. The sun was blazing as hot as the pistols as the Earp brothers wiped out the bad guys. (We thought of James many times. Can only imagine what he would have made of that scene!)
