Default Guns as art

Yesterday I was digging through photographs on my computer and ran across some photos I made in a remote area on a backroad near Tombstone AZ. My wife and I were visiting her parents in Sierra Vista and the decided to take us into uncharted territory near Tombstone.

We went to a place where the “snake man” lived in a trailer and made and sold rattlesnake crafts, wallets, mounted rattlers and such. I don’t know the guys name and didn’t meet him. His “store” was self service where you take what you want and pay by putting the money in a can.

The “snake man” considered himself an artist and has a red of sand and rusty old stuff. What I found funny but sad we’re some classic firearms hanging by wires and rusting away. There were some pretty fine guns tossed to the elements like a Marlin lever action, Winchester lever gun, and a Mauser C96 just to name a few.

This just shows a few of the guns he had.

Crazy!

I think there may be some of those "special" mushrooms out there. Interesting, to say the least.

Unfortunately I didn’t meet him but here’s one of his rattlers.

The bullfrog purse is behind the rattler.
