Take a look at Google Satellite.<br /><br />The reason the place is empty, judging from the clothing of the young lady, the photos are made in winter, which can be wretchedly cold there, also windy. Other than that, it's a lot like summer.<br /><br />Back then there wasn't much to recommend the location except for the silver.<br /><br />I could see some attraction to living there now, with all the modern conveniences, like hot and cold running firewood and the intertubes to read GDB. Every fast food known to man is available in Barstow, just a short drive away.<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-52855479240384692312013-02-12T22:01:42.947-08:002013-02-12T22:01:42.947-08:00Those luxury villas must be made from Dom Perignon...Those luxury villas must be made from Dom Perignon bottlesDean Findernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-16487081371921600962013-02-12T11:09:04.668-08:002013-02-12T11:09:04.668-08:00By building six luxury villas in this harsh enviro...By building six luxury villas in this harsh environment, somebody believes there's now GOLD in them thar hills.<br /><br />Bill in DenverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-61815400173147738102013-02-12T10:31:22.224-08:002013-02-12T10:31:22.224-08:00K.
