Searching for Val Kilmer (Back in Santa Fe)

What began as an excuse for an adventure now turned into a computer search project. I needed some proof that Val Kilmer actually lived in Pecos, just so that I could let it go. I found that not only does he live there, you can actually go fishing on his ranch (for a fee of course). There is a website advertising the trip ( www.thepecosriverranch.com) as well as DIRECTIONS TO VAL KILMER'S RANCH!
The computer search painted Mr. Kilmer in a different light than the older tabloid picture of an eccentric but talented actor. Through his work with the New Mexico Film Investment Program, he is credited with increasing state revenues from movie making in New Mexico 40 fold, from $3 million in 2002 to $117 million in 2006. If you have seen a western, it was probably made in New Mexico, (e.g., 3:10 to Yuma, The Missing, Young Guns, Lonesome Dove, City Slickers, Brokeback Mountain, and the TV series Gunsmoke among others). The list is over 4 pages long and as I write, The Book of Eli is about to be filmed with potential Denzel Washington sightings in town.
With the search for Val Kilmer ended, it is time to think seriously about skiing at Ski Santa Fe. Until then, Happy Trails from Ramblin Me.
