original muural of the 1950's
Our family has a tradition of an annual camping trip. This particular trip was planned by my sisiter-in-law the location,Ute lake, in New Mexico, was chosen due to it's midway point. Normally I'm all for camping, I love it! This particular year though I had a 4 month old baby. Boating for hours with a baby was out of the question and the campsite due to lack of trees was hot as hell. Around the time that everyone started feeling like they were at the beach, because they were getting plenty of "crab" out of me, my in-laws decided to go antiquing in the nearby towns and asked if I would care to join them. So, mom, pops, me, and baby in tote went on a shopping excursion. Here are some of the pictures I took in these almost ghost towns, talk about a blast from the past! I thought they were interesting.
I am not saying travel to these places, all I'm saying is that sometimes it's cool to take the scenic route versus the interstate. We did that on the way there and back, as well as going into all the little towns while camping. It took longer, but I ended up with some cool photos because of it.
