Canon City, Colorado - Buckskin Joe Frontier Town and Railway I got to be a gunfighter for a day at Buckskin Joe's. I got shot and played in all the shows they did. I even got to hang a guy, when we did one of the shows that had a hanging in it. It was hard work, but so worth it.
Growing up I used to play cowboys all the time and watch westerns and this was like doing both, playing in a western movie. I would do it again the next time I go to Colorado. [Steve C, 05/11/2008]
