GREEN KING.  So what the hell is a green iguana doing on a website about buckaroos.  The Stockmens had Giant King. The Commercial has White King.  The abandoned yet once grand Mizpah Hotel of Tonopah...had nothing...until now.  We thought it could use it's own King.  So cometh: Green King.  Our tongue in cheek answer to what ever the question was.  A irreverent icon for all to remind you  to keep the faith, never weaken, uphold the traditions, stand for what you beleive in, even if it means stepping on some toes and being....a lowly but brave and intrepid green iguana....in the midst ...of giant snarling bears.  And always: take no prisoners.

Remember.  You ARE big.  It's the ranches....that got small......

So....in keeping with our policy of pot-stirring....YOU tell US.  What becomes a legend most?  YOU decide.  

We pause to shake a finger at our old employer, Maggie Creek Ranches out of Carlin, NV.  Perhaps it's time for a reality check...for them...and for all the other big outifts out there who are caving in and cutting out good solid help and replacing them with....with....what?    We don't even have to say it, do we?  Because you all already know.  You see it as much as we do.  So we take a moment here to remind them, and let them know that we aren't afraid to call them on the carpet, in front of God and all creation.  Because they could use some public spanking.  Because they need to do some serious soul searching.  Maggie Creek, time to pull up, suck it up and get yer head back on straight.  That, or go take a long ride off a short cliff, Pilgrims....when you start throwing away quality employees with strong work ethics and a rich history of buckarooing in the Great Basin like the Riggs family pictured below, something's definately wrong with your picture.... 

So sayeth....the Keeper of Green King.

Then:

And now:
