My first job in 72 besides babysitting was working at a place called Stagecoach Stop. It was set up like an old western town, and I worked in the trail shop selling boots, moccasins, and old fashion toys. We had a general store where you cold get a slab of cheese or a pickle right out of the barrel, a saloon where you get food and a sasaparilla, and many other stores. They had a gun fight on main street with the cowboys on horseback, and a lot going on. Across the street was the Golden Nugget Restaurant. It was a fun summer. There were other amusement places in the Irish Hills like Prehistoric Forest, and Mystery Hill. All these places hired teens, so you could always get a summer job.
