Grab a Cold One at Big Nose Kate's!

A few days ago I stopped in the Big Nose Kate's with my long time friend Ronda for a cold one. Just came across some pic's. Big Nose Kate's Saloon is a present-day saloon where the Grand Hotel once stood. Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and Ike Clanton were a few of the guests who checked into this pretty popular hotel during the 1800s. It was also the residence for “the Swamper,” the hotel’s janitor. It's believed that “the Swamper” never left and is still there protecting his silver he hide in his sleeping quarters in the basement. He lived underneath the Hotel in the basement near the mine shaft that had tunnels underneath the hotel and most of Tombstone. When you go below the saloon to the gift shop you can see the area he may have lived in. No ghost to be seen while staying in Tombstone, but have to wonder if one followed us home...my 16yr dog went crazy and started running for 45 mins straight...leaping over our yard boulders and diving in the pool as well. She had the spirit of a young pup. Now she's back to being the old dog with wobbly hips.
