The Legend of Red Ghost, Part II

Went home for lunch and whipped out a scene of "Big Red Beast":

 

 

If the background looks familiar it's because it's the Coyote Pass-Beale Springs-Clacks Canyon area west of Kingman where sightings of the Red Ghost were so prevalent that Dan The Man Harshberger's sister and brother-in-law named their spread Red Ghost Ranch.

Thanks for more Red Ghost.  Maybe the Red Ghost was responsible for Maurice Kildare's missing stagecoach from the Beale's Spring area!
