The oldest saloon in Nevada
« on: January 12, 2010, 11:39:35 PM »
Well,it was 55 degrees today and i desided to do a trip to the oldest saloon in Nevada(about 45 miles from Vegas)It was build in 1913 and it is kept totally original. The saloon houses a bullet hole on the side of the building and a coroner's letter describing how it was created. The saloon is said to be "haunted" by the victim's ghost by many. In addition, the Pioneer Saloon has a small memorial to both Clark Gable and Carole Lombard. Ms. Lombard's plane TWA Flight 3 crashed into nearby Potosi Mountain on January 16, 1942. There was a lot of Harley coming ad going and only one other make(our beloved R65)
  Geez what a place even the riders inside were like from a century ago ;D

I ride through Damascus sometimes, I'll have to look for that one.

Right now I would rather be with SinCityR65; that sunshine looks nice.
