No water in this stone walled trough.The trees and desert brush is taking it over.

This cross not only looks over the old ranch - it holds the old electric wire.

There are no more doors to lock...no family to keep safe at night !! So it takes rest in the sandy desert floor !

They built things to last. Many parts of this ghost ranch will be here for a very long time.They have the ability to withstand the winds,the weather,the sun with its' extreme heat - only man can destroy these structures.
