I have been waiting 9 months for your return... What a day to come back sir💪

[@mikewhite2aadvocacy172]

Thank you for the history lesson, don't stay away so long and I hope all is well with you

[@old_west_lover]

Thanks for the kind words. And I hope you are well also! (I hope to start back up this week)

Welcome back. You were missed. Ringo's questionable death will probably go down in history alongside Billy the Kid and Elvis. Although, I don't recall anyone spotting Ringo in Walmart after midnight 😳

Thanks! I hope all is well with you and yours. I am going to make a concerted effort to post at least every other day. It is fun making these, but I tell ya, it can be a lot of work. Truly glad you appreciate the effort!

Doc Holiday had no involvement with Ringo's death. Holiday was in Leadville, CO on the 18t. That is a long way from Turkey Creek Canyon where Ringo died, likely on the 13th. That's roughly 700 miles to cover in 5 days. Not happening.

Odd, he was supposedly in Denver, for court, but the court records for that month were lost, and no one could remember seeing him around for several days. Maybe he was in Leadville, or maybe he took the train south, no one knows for sure, including you, and even at just 25 mph that distance could be covered by train in slightly over a day. 56 hours there and back, and who knows how long he could have been there, since there's no actual record of his whereabouts at the time.
