Jacob's Review:  A ghost took my cookie wrapper and floated it down the street. And I got it and then the ghost took it out of the trash again and floated down the street the other way, and it was way down in the trash. I know it was a ghost cause it floated in the air not on the ground. And the ghost wasn't allowed in the busy street that's why it stopped there!
     My Dad took a picture and there was a ghost in it - but it was a different ghost I think.

Dad's Notes:  The still present hand dug well, in the middle of the dusty Main street, was the cause of the Town's demise. Back in the day, some Gov't men came through surveying the town (to put a highway through) these Gov't men instructed the townsfolk to fill in the well so the highway could be built over it. The towns folk didn't see what sense it made to fill in a perfectly good well. So they 'got into it' with the Gov't men, refusing to fill in the well. The Gov't men then rerouted the highway around the town. And the town remained lost in time. The 1800's General Store and Saloon still as they ever were.
     On weekends, (esp. third Sat of every month) men can be found sittin on the 100 year old chairs outside the Saloon - spinnin yarns, and passin on history to anyone who might actually find there way to this time lost ghost town.
     The General store, Saloon and other buildings can be toured during Sat and Sundays... (When the proprietor isn't 'gone fishin')!
