Bonnie Springs is a very interesting place.  Perhaps it was a mirage--I've never seen anything quite so unique.  The bathroom had a bathtub for a urinal with a sign hanging on the wall above it that encouraged the reader to "use it."  There were dollar bills hanging from the walls inside the restaurant.  Perhaps the strangest thing, though, is that we saw no houses within several miles of Bonnie Springs and virtually no cars parked in the parking lot, yet the restaurant had several people in it.  One more thing.  Both the petting zoo and "authentic" western town (complete with regularly scheduled hangings and "melodramas") were closed for the day.  But there was still someone manning the ticket booth.  I suppose he was anticipating the random traveler who might be so taken aback by the wonder that is Bonnie Springs as to desire advance tickets to the next days early morning melodrama and hanging.
