Langtry, Texas

After our guided tour at Seminole Canyon we decided to cruise on farther west over the Pecos River to the small town of Langtry.  Here we stopped at the Judge Roy Bean Visitor  Center.

As many of us know, Judge Roy Bean was the colorful and notorious saloon keeper/justice of the peace/judge in Langtry, Texas in the last decades of the 1800s.  Here he was the "law west of the Pecos".

This is the actual saloon building where he held court.

Karen tried to order a wine but the Judge wasn't around.

This sign hangs behind the bar.

The visitor center also has a beautiful cactus garden to roam.

Bill found these Horse Crippler cacti to be especially interesting.  The sign says, "large rigid spines harmful to hoofs of horses and cattle..."  Now he knows not to step on one in the desert.

Note to readers:  If you get down this way be sure to stop in Langtry.
