Western Ledgens

This is the beauty down Johnson Canyon.......of course this is from the safety of the air condition vehicle. We had a blast at Western Ledgens, it was a beautiful and hot in Kanab.
Doug and his friend got in trouble. I took a picture of them before the nice jail men let him out for good behavior. Shame on you Doug.


These next three pictures are of the Gunsmoke set. Sad to see how it has not been taken care of.
Our little friend that came to visit one night. See even the heat bleached him.

This is Doug and Johnny Western. He played guitar with Johnny Cash for years and is the voice behind several well know movie theme songs....Bonanza, Have guns will travel, Gunsmoke...
Yep me and Gabby....it was at least 150 that day.
This is a look-a-like of Gabby Hays......he was a really funny guy.
This is one of the plaques that line the main street of Kanab. Every year they put up about 4 more different ones of people that made movies in the Kanab area "Little Hollywood" or of people that were significant in some way to the area. This was Doug's favorite.This is Doug and Aubree hanging out just to get there pictures taken in western town. That is where some parts of old movie sets are put back together and hang out together....it was really cool to see.
This is Doug with Ed Faulkner. He talked with Doug several times. The hat that Doug has on in this picture he had autographed by every star there that would. Now he loves that hat that much more (as if that was possible..hmmm).
This is Clint Walker. Doug & Dad was really excited to meet him, he was a super nice guy. they were even more excited to have him autograph there hats.
Doug made friends with every cowboy that he could find.
