When you drag your kid on an unwanted road trip to the desert, you throw her a bone by throwing in a ghost town.
And she did!
The town has such an interesting and sad history. This was one of the bank buildings, and it was truly gorgeous when it was new in the early 1900s.
Sometimes exploration isn't pretty.
One of the buildings left behind from the glory days was this house made of glass bottles. Apparently they are very good at insulating, from the desert winter cold and summer heat. When we were there, in early April, it was in the 40s with gale-force winds, making it very cold!
This collection of odds and ends outside the bottle house was very attractive to Cora. She was dying to take something home!
Stace gave her a patdown before we got back in the car to be sure the relics stayed put for other visitors to peruse.
