244 Talking About the Pioneer Saloon

Last fall, members of the Las Vegas Territory were invited down to Goodsprings, Nevada for lunch at the Historic Pioneer Saloon and to meet the owner who fills us in on its unique history.  Later, I took Debbie down there to show her the little town, do a walking tour and to see the bar where, in 1942, legendary movie actor Clark Gable waited for three days on word of his wife's (Carole Lombard) plane crash on Mount Potosi. In 1932, the two Hollywood legends had married and spent their honeymoon in another nearby ghost filled mining town of Oatman, Arizona.
