And one of the best compliments we received from one of them was that we all looked like we just fell off a Remington picture. Well that says it all. A little dirt never hurt anyone. The Muleskinners are as close to the real deal as your going to get!" Thanks again, Chance, President GFH. Also proud member Mojave Muleskinners # 77

Hi there!
My name is Brianna, I live in Boston, and I am a big fan of re-enactment and all things wild west...I just wanted to let you know how wonderful, visual, and exciting your website is...it's the best thing around as far as reenacting groups go, and it really paints an amazing picture of your commitment to the spirit of  the old west!

Thanks,
Brianna

This contact is to report the capture and detention of three rowdy scoundrels, Smoky Jack, Ricochet, and Snake Dancer.

These three devils practically destroyed the Hamburger Patty's Restaurant at 197 West 200 South in Parowan Utah. We are considering forming a lynch mob to take care of the problem. If they ever get out of jail we hope they will come back so we can take care of them once and for all. If any of the rest of your rowdy bunch ever come up this way come on by, we will be ready with guns loaded.

Sincerely Gaylord and Gwen Robb - Proprietors
