New Mexico, Day One
Stopped in the ghost town of Dawson this afternoon and let the dogs run. All that’s there is the cemetery, which holds the remains of hundereds of miners that were killed in one of the town’s two major mining disasters in the early 20th Century…
Also pics from the haunted St. James Hotel in Cimarron (where I’m not staying because they don’t accept dogs, but the people are super friendly and helpful). The St. James hosted famous guests like Jesse James, Wyatt Earp and brothers, Black Jack Ketchum, Doc Holiday, Buffalo Bill Cody and Annie Oakley. 26 people died there…it was a rough and rowdy place. Check out the original 1872 bar and the bullet holes in the tin ceiling.
Random pics of a buffalo and cactus thrown in (hey, this is New Mexico).
