Caption: Bonus Historical Marker!
Additional Description: This historical marker hangs above the bar inside the saloon. The text reads: Botilleas Bordellos Worlds oldest profession flourished 50 yds. east of this plaque for many years until this most perfect example of free enterprise was padlocked by unsympathetic politicians.
E.R.E.C.T.I.O.N.S. 1968
The bartender was of the opinion that this was probably a copy of a Clamper marker. Note that "Botilleas" was the prior name of the town of Jackson (~10 miles away) during the early part of the Gold Rush, so it is conceivable this plaque, or its twin, was hung in Jackson at some point.
