  • I have been obsessed with Billy the Kid lately and stopped by some sites where Billy the Kid was known for including Las Cruces, New Mexico and Lincoln County where the 5-day Lincoln County War occurred in 1878.

    What’s cool about Billy the kid is that he was so loved and appreciated by his friends and they have said this. He was also jaunty and spoke Spanish and knew Mexican dance and He had the attention of the senoritas. He was a killer but also described as very cool under fire and even treated danger with disdain. He is really a cool character of the old west . Someone your want to meet.

    Way cool. As an 80’s kid and a history buff, my interest with Billy the kid started with a Brady Bunch episode. I’ve been fascinated with his life story ever since. As always, another insightful video with excellent commentary!

      Woohoo - the 80s! What a great time. YES! Billy the Kid's story is so fascinating. I can't believe it took me years to realize that!

    I love how adventurous you are I need to step out my comfort zone and just take solo trips everytime I say I'm going to I never do it or I cancel the trip out of fear. I don't go many places because, I don't have anyone to go with me so, I miss out on so many great trips and vacations, I love traveling and I love history great vlog looks like a cool place to visit.

      I totally get it. It took me some time to get used to traveling solo. On these road trips, it definitely helps that I have my dog because I don't feel totally alone. Vlogging my journey helps too. Small towns are less intimidating too :)

    We went to the courthouse in Lincoln NM. I have a pic I took showing a shadow of a cowboy next to my husband.

    the is Very cool. Lincoln is so tiny compared to other Wild West towns like Tombstone isn’t it?!
    I mean everyone there must’ve known each other. Very tight knit which makes the LC War that much more unique!
