However I would love to visit one of your ghost towns as it would be totally new for me and I have no idea what the feeling might be.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783877262954668959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139161043677921966.post-18004731294986592302010-11-14T20:38:36.701+11:002010-11-14T20:38:36.701+11:00But there are still living 150 people there?But there are still living 150 people there?Martinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771625000856319335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139161043677921966.post-39276444037542867332010-11-14T18:30:15.152+11:002010-11-14T18:30:15.152+11:00As I usually do when I look at your posts, I go ov...As I usually do when I look at your posts, I go over to google maps and have a virtual wander around the town.<br />This town was soooooooo dry looking.<br />You really can understand how people in dry areas get so excited about rain. It really is transformational (is that a word? transformative?).<br />It's amazing that a bit of green grass and new growth on trees can make such a difference.freefallinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08863000229609701796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139161043677921966.post-60256986913187663892010-11-14T17:44:39.384+11:002010-11-14T17:44:39.384+11:00Last September my wife and I drove from our home i...Last September my wife and I drove from our home in Tulsa Oklahoma to Santa Fe New Mexico following old Route 66 as much as is still possible. Many small towns along that route made their living from the traffic which passed through. Now they are a collection of abandoned motels, repair shops, and cafes. But in all these places there are still a few hardy souls who still inhabit these little towns. There are Terowies in lots of places like dusty little museums.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10390386422182379201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139161043677921966.post-70253140019192836682010-11-14T14:55:42.866+11:002010-11-14T14:55:42.866+11:00A sad story indeed.
How strange it must have felt...A sad story indeed. <br />How strange it must have felt to wander around those empty streets while taking your photos. Some of the shops look in such fine condition too. Such a shame it's in decline. Some of the remaining population are obviously looking after things, and preserving their memories, as the streets are so clean and tidy.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849036690807834080noreply@blogger.com
