Of course, as a native Californian and current Nevadan, I love Western lore and love to spend hours in cemeteries like Virginia City reading tombstones--"...hung for this, shot in a duel..."<br />I've always thought I'd love to do a driving tour of NV ghost towns and do some photography, poetry inspired by it.

Al Capone had some hideouts relatively close to where I live. I don't know why gangsters of old always seemed a bit more 'romantic' than modern day thieves. Perhaps part of it had to do with the series "The Untouchables." Loved Elliot Ness. Smiles. I never heard of "Machine Gun Kelly" though. So thank you for broadening my education!
