Road Trip '09

This was Captain Nathan Brittle's (John Wayne's) home in She wore a Yellow Ribbon.

It is the outdoor location only.

The sign says, "You are inside Mike Goulding's 'potato cellar' in which she would store vegetables & fruits. When John For filmed "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" in 1946, the trading post was used for exterior shots as the cavalry post headquarters; the original dining room was used as the saloon; and this 'cabin' was used for the exterior shots as John Wayne's movie character's home. Behind the glass is a recreation of the interior set, filmed in Hollywood."

They had photos inside the cabin. This is what it looked like in the movie.

The only cheesy part was the cardboard cutout of John Wayne.

They even had a calendar with the dated crossed out, just like John Wayne did in the movie. Counting down to retirement.

In the main trading post they had some notes from John Wayne. He signed them "Duke."

I like this picture. I looks like a fake set but it's a real photo.

In the gift shop. I just shake my head. The packaging says, "It's Rough! - It's Tough! And it doesn't take crap off anyone"

Back on the road.
