Arizona – Very Wild, Very Western!

In 1881 the gunfight at the OK Corral took place in Tombstone Arizona and the lawless spirit of the Wild West has been celebrated I Southern Arizona ever since. In Tombstone itself (1st image) I was “lynched” by a vigilante gang of suitably attired locals and narrowly escaped a visit to Boot Hill Cemetery! Jay Gammons, one of my interviews for the radio show, has built a Western movie set at Gammons Gulch (2nd image) with over 7,500 artifacts of the West. And I met Bud Strom, Cowboy poet and another interviewee for my show, on his Single Star Ranch on the Mexican border.
