While planning a fall vacation Kanab was to be the first stop, not the only stop. But shit happens and plans change.
Kanab is really a nice little town and the Crazy Horse RV Park next to the cemetery has been a quiet place to stay.
Plus we’ve enjoyed exploring the area. Including the Free Movie Set Museum in Kanab, also known as “Little Hollywood”.
The gift shop was loaded with western stuff. And, of course, the jewelry caught my eye. But I didn’t buy anything.
In back of the gift shop lies Frontier Town, a collection of buildings and facades depicting the old wild west.
Kanab made its screen debut in 1924 and provided spectacular western landscapes for over 100 film and TV productions.
Familiar names, to some anyway, like The Lone Ranger, Billy the Kid, Death Valley Days, Gunsmoke, Grizzly Adams, Lassie, F Troop, and the The Outlaw Josey Wales where filmed in the Kanab area.
Transportation and repairs have changed a bit.
Seems Mike got in a little trouble.
So guess I’ll be moving in for a while.
Sure hope they don’t hang him like this poor fella.
Ever get stuck in a place and make new discoveries?
Looks like a fun place to be!
So many places, so much to see! I look forward, planning on next fall!
You could have been stranded in worst places.
Oh, how fun!!! Hubby would LOVE the TP!!!
Cool photos, I do remember a lot of these showsand movies. Lassie was one of my favorites. I assume you are enjoying your visit to Kanab, Utah!
Wow, Gaelyn, that's awesome old movie set stuff. Hope Mike got some rice water for dinner. You probably watched the sun go down while rocking in the cool chair on the veranda. Have a great week. (((hugs))) Jo
I'm such a sucker for kitschy Western towns–I think I'd do well in Kanab! Can I visit you and Mike in prison there? =)
Hee hee..I want some of that toilet paper 🙂
Gosh, your list of TV productions took me down memory lane for awhile. That Mike better mend his ways and quick! PS Smiling about the toilet paper.
This is such an amazing spot. There must be countless photo opportunities. I'm surprised though that they don't have people dressed in theme costumes roaming the place.
Sorry to hear your planned holiday has gone down the drain a bit.
