This is a True Story ... No B.S.
I have been travelling to the Black Rock Desert town of Gerlach, Nevada since the late 1960's in search of relics from the old Ghost Towns within 150 miles or so ... Gerlach had a small population which had fluctuated between 200-300 people until the advent of "Burning Man" in 1990 ...
Now, to the meat of the story ... At the far end of town stood an old Bar/Cafe known as The "Jalisco Club", great drinks poured straight and plentiful directly from the bottle and some of the best Mexican Food that ever crossed your lips ... An (already old) Bar Table was nestled nearby and an even older Juke-Box (with .45's) blurted out tunes from Buck Owens, Hank Snow, and a plethora of Mexican artists ... To the best of my recollection, that old Bar Table was never re-covered or repaired in any way, from that time until the Bar finally closed in 1997 due to the owner's passing ... That has to be a record for a Bar Table, but someone else may know of an older one still in use ...
