Nice video. Too bad you all didn't stop by the Bosque Redondo Reservation which is eye site from the gravesite of Billy the Kid. It's the final location for the thousands of Navajo that survived the Long Walk in the mid to late 1860s.

@dmaradona10 maybe we'll get to do that next time we're through NM. I'm hoping to get that way again in April. We take the show West to California....should be fun!

what a horribe tacky place - well it is in amerca after all

[magicguy72]

@innit27 : Oh I see, this is a "tacky place" but all those wonderful tourist attractions you have in Western Sahara are spectacular? Abandoned buildings, dirt roads, desert lands, dangerous cities, and not a single "tourist attraction" to be found....hmmm, let's go visit Western Sahara!

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha these people have no idea what they're talking about, they weren't bank robbers, and that cage is there to stop someone from robbing his grave, and the word "pals" was chizzled in one night when it was dark by what was thought to be one of his surviving members

Also, this area was flooded after Billy's so- body was buried here so even the actual location of the casket is unknown.

[blackops417]

Did he really call Billy and his PALS bank robbers? I do hope that later on you learned they never robbed any banks.

sad thing is, (along with the spelling & grammar of many of these comments) is that I've never been to Billy's grave site even though I live just 4 hours away from there....there seems 2 be not much history here in Ft. Sumner...I have, however been 2 Lincoln, NM....now if you want 2 learn A LOT of history behind William H. Bonney, then I suggest you take a trip 2 Lincoln, b/c there is much more 2 learn there than in Ft. Sumner. The only reason this place is famous is b/c it's where he was killed

Thats very disrespectful to make a mans grave a tourist attraction no matter if that really is Henry McCarthy aka billy the kid or not he was still a human being and deserves respect like everyone else he payed the price for what he did he stayed alive just long enough to see all his friends die then supposedly was killed by a man that use to be his friend so he at least deserves to R.I.P without people coming and taking pictures videos and that stuff

[vnicvnck]

billy is not dead he lived, billy barlow is buried there, Brushy Bill Roberts is the real billy, look into things more

[chriswinters17]

here is a lil thing about billy the word pals was put on there by pat garret they think cuz after he was shot a single man snuck into the gave yard and put that word there but me i dont think that he shot billy cuz pat garretss horse went missing at the gave and billy siad before he died he would not still from a man he did not like so if he robbed u he liked u so i dont think garret shot him but put one of billys pals bodys in there cuz almost all of his friends where dead

I remember when I went here in my 18-wheeler. Got alot of good pictures. It was early in the morning with the sun coming up. I had my single action 44. magnum and laid it on top of his tombstone with a purple and yellow sky in the background. It is a great pic.
