    I heard that in small towns it can be quite a shock and you get crowds of angry people telling you to get out of their town.

    Well....okay....maybe I didn't hear a story like that, maybe it's just my worst nightmare.

    But someone did say that small town America wasn't ready for this and by the way I didn't ever get the mean "nice skirt" comment thrown at me until I was in Flagstaff.

    Santa Fe is just a step down the wear whatever ladder from Bisbee Arizona; where a kilt would be considered very conservative. O'Neille

    So, does Jerome fall in between Bisbee and Santa Fe?

    Bisbee is a small copper mining town about 20 miles from Sierra Vista in the Mule Mountains. The old part of town has an alpine feel with Victorian Buildings lining a narrow winding street up the canyon. Kind of artsy with excellent restaurants, bars, and coffee houses. It is the kind of place that you can walk around for a day and only go about 200 yards and not see everything. I'm not a big shopper so I usually sit and drink an iced coffee and watch people. Some wild kilt sightings but not a tartan yet. Historically it was the largest town between Kansas City (I think) and San Francisco by rail. I've got a cabin near Bisbee just north of the tunnel through the mountain, I go there for relaxation when I need to decompress. I'll post some pics sometime. O'Neille
