See for yourselves.

Don’t know about the pbr but Mark Twain’s law of liquid consumption applies, “whiskey ‘s for drinking and waters for fight’n over”.

It's a real hoot to come and see the desert animals at play.

Dang sounds like a real nice "family" place. If I ever get out that way count me in especially if they have PBR on tap! Big smile

This place isn’t out of the “old west”, it doesn” know the West is “old”.  One quarter of the inhabitants don’t know the Civil War is over, that prohibition has ended, that we landed on the Moon or that Bob Wills is dead.

 As for, “check in your razors and all your guns” many don’t shave as there’s precious little water.  All fain ignorance and illiteracy to sidestep the issue even the Diamond Jim’s with the law degrees and a license to practice law.

Such are the foibles of Arizona’s Parker Strip and the Buckskins...”Swing low sweet chariot, com’n for to carry me home” from the insanity of the “post, post, industrial revolution”.  WHERE’s the RUM MATE?
