"What happens? We go there on buses, see? And when we get there everything is set up -- tables, tents, music. And everyone lives it up. The officers usually go with the girls. The tourists go look at the Zone -- if it’s at the Hot Springs, the Zone is just a stone’s throw away, on the other side of the Sulphur Gorge. Buzzard has thrown a lot of horse bones around there and they look at them through binoculars"
