The town of Solomon celebrates Mortimer Whitehall's stories of gold and the gate to Hell. To celebrate, people get drunk in the desert and tell wild stories. This year the stories will be much better.
Description:
The town of Solomon, Texas celebrates the day that crazy Mortimer Whitehall came into town covered in blood, dirt and sand. He had a blank stare and ignored everything else until he had a drink at the Crooked Cross Saloon. He told wild stories of lost gold and the passage to Hell. He then died (so the story goes). Each year since, the menfolk of the town celebrate by getting drunk with friends, wandering the desert and coming back to compete by telling the best story. This year, the stories will be much better.
