dallas,
I looked up Mescal, AZ on Mapquest and see you are right in the middle of Duke's old stomping grounds. We must have driven right by you in 2003, when we went down to Tombstone to celebrate Duke's 96th birthday with Duke's Hollywood Cowboys. There were plenty of folks dressed in old Western style garb. Do you do that, too? Maybe we crossed paths that weekend (strains of Twilight Zone music . . . . ).
Have you been up to Eagar/Springerville, to the 26 Bar Ranch? Our member Chilibill spends quite a bit of time there, and he has some GREAT tales to tell, as he was an extra in some of Duke's movies back in the late forties. If you haven't been there, you should go!
