Tombstone – the town, not the pizza

clanton

We drove over to Tombstone this morning for some serious Old West tourism.

Stopped by the offices of the Tombstone Epitaph, the historic newspaper that’s still published today, had lunch at Big Nose Kate’s Saloon, and took in the $10-a-head reenactment of the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Here I am with Terry “Ike” Clanton, a descendant of Ike Clanton, one of the brothers who shot it out Oct. 26, 1881 with the Earp brothers and Doc Holiday.

Maria’s parents rolled in from Indiana about 4:30 p.m. and now we’re off to dinner at a Mexican restaurant that comes highly recommended by the in-laws.

Here’s a cheesy video of the actual firefight, minus the melodramatic prelude:
