I did in fact, send a lengthy message to the real estate firm who holds the listing on the town. I'm waiting for a response. I'd really like to know the total back story on the place.<br /><br />Magia - thanks Magia! I appreciate it.<br /><br />missing moments - thanks! I do my best.<br /><br />Betty - Thanks Betty! Same to you and yours.<br /><br />Anthony - I feel the same way and have visited many others lately. I've been so busy lately that the posts are all in draft form.

They just walk away and leave it sitting there...<br /><br />Magia - Thank you Magia! Same to you. It is a small world...<br /><br />Gingerspark - Let me know what you find!<br /><br />Kato - I KNEW you'd like it. You would have found a way inside before I was out of the car!<br /><br />Leovi - Thank you Leovi! Very interesting indeed.<br /><br />Chuck - Thanks Chuck! I'm not thinking there are any gangs anywhere close to this place. Maybe somebody passing through. The paint all looked pretty old, but who knows?<br /><br />Pam - I thought the same thing! My pleasure Pam, same to you.<br /><br />Stewart - Thanks Stewart! If it's craziness you want, the American southwest is the place to be.<br /><br />Leia - He sure was! I guess the elves didn't like the heat. Thanks so much Leia.<br /><br />James - I find a few of them, the rest seem to find me!<br /><br />Stickup Artist - You are so right! She's also going to let it deteriorate slowly so people can witness the folly of our failed ideas. I feel the same way as you about the desert. Most people don't like it and speed through it if they have to be there. I love it and think it's beautiful.

That's funny Brian!<br /><br />M Pax - Not something you see everyday, that's for sure.<br /><br />#1Nana - When you do hit the road, maybe we'll cross paths! That would also be unusual...<br /><br />Rosemary - Thank you my dear! My aim is to amaze and confuse... I'll be coming by as soon as I can. It seems like it's about time for you to be sailing back up north.<br /><br />Pearl - There's not a lot of difference between these places in the summer and your area in the winter. Well, besides the amount of clothing required that is. I aspire to be a pile of sun bleached bones one day... NOT! I may love the desert, but I REALLY love where I live on the coast.<br /><br />PTM - Thanks my friend! I think I've met a few of the aliens...<br /><br />TheChieftess - That's what I'm saying Kathryn! Odd attracts odd, so these things just fall into my lap.<br /><br />Ebie - I have a TON more posts to do on Route 66 and the Mojave through California and Arizona. I need a clone to help me out... Ah, the good old Salton Sea. So much oddness there!<br /><br />Sallie - HA! So true, different states, different circumstances...SAME people! Thanks Sallie, I appreciate it.<br /><br />Robyn - Thanks Robyn!

There is so much desert and where there is desert, there are VERY interesting fringe people, ideas and things.<br /><br />Shelly - Don't eat the yellow sand! I agree with you. It takes a special kind of person to try what she did.<br /><br />mshatch - I'm not very surprised either. I'm just glad it was still there when we drove by, slammed on the brakes and backtracked. <br /><br />Alex - Judging by the very few photos I could find, it was festive and "wintery" looking. It seemed to be a place that the kids in the car would yell about and beg to stop at.<br /><br />California Girl - Me too! I haven't done it yet, but I promise I will find out and report back. I read and loved "Stranger in a Strange Land" and totally "grok" what you're saying...<br /><br />Brenda - Thanks Brenda! Even though we spent a ton of time around there, I just don't remember it! Many years and many murdered brain cells since then....<br /><br />Sylvia - That's for sure Sylvia! There's only one significant difference between the desert dwellers in those two states. The ones from Nevada are more radio-active!<br /><br />Sharon - Thanks Sharon! We have a lot of fun.<br /><br />Ms. A - Oh yeah! They are everywhere.<br /><br />Betsy - Yep! Besides, just imagine how miserable Santa must have been in that desert heat.Pat Tilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699973774273291205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-16029229427019431592013-04-03T17:28:39.980-07:002013-04-03T17:28:39.980-07:00You do indeed always find the most fascinating and...You do indeed always find the most fascinating and interesting places, Pat!!

I recently read an MG mystery, The Tell-Tale Start (starring two descendants of Edgar Allen Poe) and there was a broken-down Wizard of Oz theme park on a Kansas farm.
