One of my favorite
pastimes is to explore ghost towns. I
decided one day that I hadn’t seen Mogollon, New Mexico, so I jumped in
the car
and off I went. I gotta tell ya, this is one of the hardest places a
paved road
could go. And 90 miles from anything a person could consider even
resembling
civilization! As I was (slowly….very slowly!) driving the road up into
the
mountains that held this gem, I remember thinking, “What jackass (and
the
person that rode him in) would even THINK of looking for anything of
value up
here?!!” I may never get an answer to that question, but I finally did
get to
Mogollon. Only 15 people still live there permanently (and I can’t
imagine how). You can still see
several
buildings including the Theater and the General Store. There are many
houses; a
couple have been refurbished and are being lived in. But don’t go
knockin’.
Many are marked Private Property.
