now i have to work part two - finding the house and exploring parker az.

i remember reading an account of wyatt and josie having an argument from which he walked away and she was yelling at him from the house - something about when she got loud you could hear her across the river.

does that sound familiar to anyone?

Lara, . . thank you for posting this very interesting and well written blog. I have to have been thru Vidal Junction at some time. But wasn't familiar with any significants to the place. And missed the "roof animals". I'll have a "look around" when I next get thru that way. :)

the house is actually in vidal - down 95 about 6 miles or so. interesting area that not too many people know about.

thanks for taking a look!

I presume that Part 2 will show that you found the house, because it is there, you know, in Vidal. I don't want to give away anything coming up in Part 2, so I won't tell, but you do know who owns the house now, don't you?

Lara - sign me in as a friend and I can message you with what I know of the place. Meanwhile, you might enjoy this video I made for the Haunted Saloon show. The interview takes place on the porch of the Earp House in Vidal.
