Gunfight at Oatman

OK, not really. But every day at 1:30 p.m., Old West gunfighters do a show on Route 66 in Oatman, Ariz.

As this video shows, it’s all pretty tongue-in-cheek and done for entertainment instead of historical re-enactment. The sound quality of the video is erratic, but it’s almost as good as being there if you can’t make your way to western Arizona on the Mother Road.

What cracks me up is to see one of the town’s wild burros strolling along at one point during the “dispute,” not really caring about the commotion.
