Should you ever find yourself in Laramie, WY, I urge, nay, INSIST you visit the Buckhorn Bar. It truly is one of the last great pioneer town bars.My mother, a University of Wyoming graduate, no less, informs me that in the 1970s, there existed something called the "Buckhorn Roll," which basically consisted of getting hammered and throwing yourself down a flight of wooden stairs. There seems to be no explanation for this.
It's a neat, old, bar that actually has historic landmark status, real bullet holes in the bar, and dead animal heads to remind you that you are, you know, in the Wild West.
i think i should go here. in april, maybe?
