The Travel Journal of Kenny and Ginny: Mescal Movie Set

We are Kenny and Ginny. We call Northeast Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula home during the summer months. Together, we enjoy recreational boating on the Oconto River and the Bay of Green Bay and camping in the cooler northern states. When the boating season is over, we become snowbirds and head south for the winter with our luxury DRV Moble Suites 5th-wheel trailer that we call Château de Sallé.

I bought the Château de Sallé in July 2018 with my late wife Nancy after our Monaco Windsor motorhome, OWFISH, was totaled in an accident.

Mescal Movie Set

Today, Ginny and I went to the Mescal Movie Set outside of Bensen, AZ, where they were commemorating the 50th-year release of the 1972 movie, The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, filmed there with a special event that includes a Meet and Greets with Steve "Bunker" deFrance, who was Paul Newman's stand-in in the movie and with Francesca Jarvis who was one of the hookers in the movie. Bunker is a veteran actor who appeared in numerous western films, including Bonanza, Gunsmoke, and over 50 episodes of The High Chaparral. Jarvis was one of the nuns in The Lilies of the Field with Sydney Poitier.
