Tombstone Pictures

Here are some of the pictures I took at Tombstone (the town that survives because of a 30 second gang fight).

Here is Kathie Oakley at the shooting gallery taking aim - she didn't miss.

They replay the "gunfight at the OK corral" 3 times a day to a packed house. The 30 seconds is stretched out into a 45 minute play.

Here are the Earp Brothers after the play - the Clanton brothers had to "stay dead" until everyone had left the bleachers. Everyone else had a good time.

There are other gunfight plays, silver mine tours, a historama, robotic gunfighters, a newspaper still publishing the event and tourist shops to visit. They even renamed their cemetery "Boothill". It is somewhat reminiscent of Barkerville with the actors dressed in period costumes. Some of the visitors can be confused with the actors (including guns). The restaurants, bars and shops all had signs - "No Guns Allowed" or "No Weapons Allowed" (guns or knives).
