If you’ve lived in the city too long, you probably aren’t aware that California is a tourist destination that draws curious visitors from Japan, China, and even the Western European countries to see and experience REAL Western Culture. From the ghost towns such as Bodie, to famous cowboys and cowgirls such a Dale Evans, to countless cowboy events, California epitomizes the Real West and true grit made famous by the likes of John Wayne (The Duke) who lived in Newport Beach. Cowboy events you have to head to the country to experience take place in towns such as Railroad Flat, where gunslingers trained in California action shooting compete, challenging their skills just like the gunslingers of the Old West!
