My place in AZ is right off of Gost Town Trail RD. Pearce is the first gost town you see and the start of Gost Town Trail RD.
Pic of the merc. and a few at the cemetary.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

I think only a couple, but there is a few little shops with south western things and pottery for sale (tourist trap :lol:). I wish I had more pics of the area. 😀

"...with his wife who runed the boardinghouse."
great historical story there.
Interesting they had a new jail 😆
Great desert landscape, interesting cemetery plots.
Presume it was difficult to dig, so everything's on the surface and well protected with sides/lids.
Thanks for that link.

The mountains look gorgeous, Aaron.
And the soil is just waiting for some agaves, yuccas etc. 😀
Beautiful!

I am surprised people went through all 64 pics. 😆
Speaking of agave, do you have any agave in your yard Tim?

Hi Aaron,
no Agaves are still alive.........I killed them all!....or should I say our moisture killed them all.
Some of the Agaves which were killed.....photos from 2002-2005.

I really need to get a huge A. neomexicana and A. parryi. The small ones didn't make it.

Tim that`s looking so much like the desert southwest. Great pics of your Northeast/Southwest garden.

Tim,
how sad those agaves all died, they were beautiful specimens.
Yup, go for size!

I might have to make a trade with you. That parryi that I have is very hardy so far and has a sucker I might trade for a cactus pad? I have had it for a few years now, very dry sand and gravel mix.

A good video of the area by my place in AZ, and the little ghost town. I'm home sick now.
