 Some people are dreamers. Some people are doers. And some people like Ed Keeylocko are both. Ed dreamed of a place where everyone followed the "Golden Rule". Where people could gather to share a story or a laugh, have a cool drink, encourage one another to blaze new trails, and experience the true heart of the West. So, he bought land near Tucson, Arizona and set out to build a town by hand, board by board, building by building. And when he was done, he had created Cowtown Keeylocko, a place like no other in this world. Ed passed away recently, but his dream, town and legacy lives on in all those who knew and loved him. They are working to restore the buildings, host events, add improvements and help spread his message of equality, kindness, hope and humor. And they are welcoming anyone who would like to help.

New Post 11.5.19: Cowtown Keeylocko, Arizonahhh  When I went into the Blue Dog Saloon in Cowtown Keeylocko on Friday afternoon and saw this live horse standing there, it immediately reminded me of an old joke. "A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says, 'So, why the long face?'". :-) However, unlike the horse, no one who ever visits this unique town has a long face because the place is so much fun. New Post 11.5.19: Cowtown Keeylocko, Arizonahhh  I got to spend a few hours enjoying Cowtown Keeylocko Days last Friday afternoon. Some of the good folks there were kind enough to pose for me in gunslinger character and some were just having fun. The town is the legacy of the Ed Keeylocko and it is supported and run by the many people whose lives were touched by his kindness, wisdom and sense of humor.
