I've had a busy few days. Thursday my Senior's group at Church (Happy Achers!) went over to Douglas and had lunch at the old, but still grand, Gadsden Hotel...bult in 1907. About half way up the marble steps in the lobby are some chipped places...they were left by Poncho Villa trying to ride his horse up the stairs!! Picture is of the lobby and staircase.

After lunch we toured the Slaughter Ranch....the entry fee of $5.00 was worth it as they had lots of REAL soft and green grass. John Slaughter's home was just 600 ft from the Mexican Border....and he was the Sheriff of Tombstone at one time....70 miles from his home.
