WH, you continue to make me smile. I go to Pahrump on a fairly regular basis and didn't know about this place. I now have a reason to check it out. Like you, it breaks my heart to see places destroyed for no good reason. Take only pictures, yeah. I used to ask people who visited me in the desert what they saw and they would say, no life. I would say you are surrounded by life, life that moves slower and is less flashy. Slow your sight and you see so much more, look for movement, not bright colors. I also appreciate your respect for others religious views, tolerance is a virtue. Peace, I will continue watching.
If I had the money, like a lotto win, I'd try and restore this to it's former glory. I went and read more about it. It has a lot of sentimental value to a lot of people that are disgusted by the vandalism. imagine all the prayers and wishes and dreams in those canyon walls? If they could talk!! Wow. Thank you for this wonderful adventure WH. Once again, you've opened my minds eye, and got me researching the internet. You're making the world better place seriously, by showing us the beauty of places & people we might never have ever had the chance of knowing/learning of. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video gift. Your comments are informed, literate, respectful and touching. You revealed more about your inner beauty than you may even realize.
This broke my heart, my grandparents brought me here when I came to visit for the summer, in 1973. What bunch of pathetic jerks destroyed this treasure? So sad that a gift to everyone, made with his heart and soul was treated with such disregard. And shame on his selfish family for not caring about his life work. Thank you for sharing this with us.
This is so sad. We use to love going there. It's 16 miles from Pahrump and we'd take all our visitors to see that beautiful site. They had a walk across bridge and a big pool of water for baptisms.......so so sorry to see it in ruins.
The people of Pahrump loved that place. The best time to visit was at night. He had an electrical switch that was on an honor system that visitors could turn on upon arrival and a sign asked to just turn the lights off when finished visiting. You could walk out on that suspension bridge and look down on all the gorgeous alcoves with various colored lights illuminating. Also, It was just remote enough from Pahrump, that those toilets were super nice to have out there. It kept people from doing their business in the canyon.
I had the pleasure of seeing it when I was younger both day and night. So sad to see it like this and could only imagine how it looks now sense this is almost 4 years old now.
Hey, this was a cool! Thanks for taking us on the tour and giving us the low down on QueHoe. I never heard of him before, but man that dude sounded like a badass. :) Have a great weekend WH.
Another Great desert video. I wish I could have seen the place before people destroyed everything. I bet it was Awesome especially when it was lite up at night. Keep up the good work. Stay Safe ! I always enjoy watching your video`s. Your Personality is Awesome !
I am amazed at the endless places of interest in the Southwest. You should be up for a Citizen of the Century award for exposing them. Thanks. Well done as usual.
another awesome video from Wonder Hussy. I have been to so many places in Arizona, Utah, Colorado and California. I really need to explore in Nevada now. Thanks alot Wonder Hussy!
Hello there, Wonder Hussy! Thanks for showing us this place. I sure wish there was more of the place left. I'm not positive, but I think the spelling for the name QueHoe was later changed to "Kehoe". Knew some people with that family name, here in California, while I was growing up. I feel as you do about people. I think there are a lot more good guys than bad guys, though as in the media, the bad press gets the most notice. That said, hope when people see the results of vandalism, that it will affect people in a way, that vandalism will be on the decline. Side note.... My husband and I call you Wanda, because of your Wandering through the history of what was, to share with others what is left. Thanks and Stay Calm, Centered and Sassy. : )
The rate of decay I have observed I was surprised that spray paint graffiti wasn't all over the walls in those rest rooms ,so that gave me some encouragement .To me this was one of the best you tube videos I have seen Thank you.
Really glad I found your channel... Haven't seen Cathedral Canyon since that day in "77"... It looks really shot out now... Haven't seen Pahrump in a minute either... It had only one dirt rd. And my gramps was a member at the Moose Lodge there... Random fact on the Moose they re-carpeted it with the one that was in the MGM that burned up in Vegas...
Many people who are new to the area have no idea this place is even here. About 2 miles northeast of Charleston View , CA. Off a road rarely taken in the middle of nowhere. Great exploration of a busted up religious area I must say. Just keep exploring the desert woman! No one does it better than the Huss.
I grew up in Las Vegas Nevada. From 1994-2000 I Frequented this Place quite often. My Grandfather was a really good Friend of Roland Wiley. I helped The Caretaker who lived out on the Wiley Ranch throughout the 90's. I had access to Tools and the Keys to the Cabins and Office building that was out there I was a Volunteer worker out there I knew Roland Wiley really well and his Family. I helped install the Electrical Wiring and Flood Lights within the Canyon. There where Benches and Trout in the Pond within the Canyon. I do remember using the Bathroom inside the Canyon. I Miss this Sacred Place It was a Holy Place to say many Prayers and a Special Place. The Cathedral Canyon needs to be Restored to its Glory.
Thank you Sarah,Fantastic job again at bringing the Back country of the USA to many..Hope your summer is going well and hope to see new videos soon..Say hello to Buggy for me.88s
I was born and raised in Las Vegas. Me and some friends would drive out there at night to watch the lights and be alone in the desert. Then we'd drive out to tecopa Hot Springs then back to the shrine to watch the sunrise. It was a sacred time in what was a very difficult part of my life. I will always treasure this place.
If you didn't find out yet, the saying is '(fill in subject) has more ( fill in object) than Carter has little pills'. Carters made pain relievers like aspirin , but they were tiny and came in a tin like altoids and there were lots of them in the tin. They also made a liver pill so another version was ....'than Carters little liver pills'. Ask someone 60 or older, they'll remember! Your videos are the best!
Great video. I'm not a believer either, and it burns me up when someone destroys a religious shrine, not because of any religious meaning to me (though I tend to love the cultural aspects of it) but because it means something to others. I've been to the WW1 cross in the Mojave Preserve, and I know a lot of Athiests who would like to see it taken down. I want it to stay up because of its historical significance.
The mans name was Rowland Wiley that built this.... i met him as a very small child with my father. This blows me away!!! I have been away from the area for many years and I have currently moved to pahrump and went to cathedral canyon today. What a difference 30 years makes. Roland was an interesting man he gave me a gift a small address book for some reason I’ll never forget it I think I was probably 12 or so.
Thank you for this video. My family visited that place from 1992-1999. It was so beautiful. There was stained glass and statues everywhere. The trees were alive. The stairs intact...I was baptized in that area where that silver mount is on the wall. Everyone from all walks of life came there. Albert Einstein and Abe L. Saint Martin , Mary & Jesus as a baby. All statues. A lot of occult things happened in this area , it became unsafe and is what drove my family away unfortunately. Rolan , the owner at the time buried a Native American that was excommunicated from his tribe. He buried him there to have a resting place , to be at peace. We believed he watched over the canyon. Also, there used to be four teepees in that canyon were you could pray or meditate. It was the most beautiful sanctuary. So sad to see how much of a shell that place has become.
This is one of my favorite videos. Truly beautiful peaceful place. I could almost see the people worshiping and praying there oh what a site it is. Definately have to check it out.
When I used to drive truck OTR sometimes I'd get to New York City, one day after delivering a load I went to a truckstop in New Jersey to fuel and get something to eat. There were two guys talking about how they used to be teachers and got fed up with the school system and bought a greyhound bus and turned it into a tour bus and charted historical sight tours to the eastern parts of the New England area states and do tours to all of the historical sights, which there are many, for the rich people that didn't want to bother driving. Have you ever considered doing the same thing?
Very good video for you not being Christiany you sound pretty knowledgeable All your site's are great and you always know the story behind them be safe and god speed
That must of been so cool back in the day. You killed me with the, ‘desert dwellers out there quadin’ shootin’ stuff up and drinkin’ Coors Light’ in your best Larry the Cable Guy voice. What a riot you are sometimes! And I especially like your parting words, ‘keep your eyes open and look at the beauty that is all around you.’ Yes, please!
We have nothing old up here in the pacific northwest. So wet and grey up here everything just rust so fast and the forest grows through it and around it and consumes it almost overnight.
I remember visiting Cathedral Canyon as a little girl. They would have Sunrise Easter services there. I was about 4 years old. I remember having to use one of those hobbit hole bathrooms! At the box end of the canyon where the waterfall was, inside the "pond" was a beautiful tree. I don't know what kind of tree it was, but is was a wispy kind of tree, like a weeping willow. I just remember it being so beautiful and green and so out of place in the middle of the desert. But the entire place had a very reverent feel to it, even to a little girl or four.
Man I bet that place was beautiful back in it's day! I can just picture it! Speaking of picturing it, I wonder if anyone has any photos of it? I'll Google it after this, lol. So I guess we could say that he was an artist. It is a shame that nobody kept up the work. Thanks for sharing the video.
That is ashamed that they let that go. I watched this once before and somehow after that I saw a video with the stained glass and lights. Very cool video. Thanks
Thanks WH. Visited this site, late March 2022. Regrettable how vandals trashed this once beautiful monument. Crossed my mind, too, Amy, what would it take to restore this place? Imagine quite a sum of money.
Spirituality and religion don't require each other. You love the desert. For many of us, the desert is it's own spirituality. I spent 30 years in the Antelope Valley. I met many who just never got it, even though they were born to it. They liked doing that same stupid, destructive crap. My first sight of Palmdale was January 1st, 1971. Eighteen inches of snow. Joshua trees with snow on them look absolutely other worldly. Been as far west as Singapore and east to Florida. Two years on Oahu. The sunsets just don't compare. Or under the full moon away from town. Nothing to get in the way of the light, but even then, the canyons can be so dark. And it is full of life if you take the time to look.
Thank you for sharing this video, I know it's 4 years old, but I'm guessing here, that man could've been the one that built the Grotto here in Iowa, if the one in Nevada was as spectacular as the one in Iowa, you missed out of a treasure, because the one in Iowa is beautiful, which I seen when my family went on vacation one year. I hope you get to see the Grotto in Iowa.
3:02 there used to be a sign on that Archway that said gateway to the Stars. Also the man who built it was named Roland Wiley. After he died some people did try to take care of it but they just didn't have the money. I remember when I would go they were occasionally people sitting at the top of the stairs watching over the place and taking donations but it just wasn't Ever Enough.
You should have visited Art Bell, he lives in Pahrump. Art never talked about it, imagine how awesome that was at night with the lights on, party spot indeed!
Wonder Hussy I listened to Art Bell from 1997 until his 3rd, 4th retirement , ha, C2C just isn't the same W/O Art, George Noory is awful...Happy Travels👽👽👽❗️
In my ramblings I have made a couple of small shrines in the wild with small statues of The Virgin Mary with a rosary. There are 2 in obscure areas of Palo Duro Canyon. They are still there after 30 years last I checked. Pray for Peace and spread love.
Very good video WonderHussy! I continue to be amazed at what people do to destroy what someone considers a heaven for others to enjoy. I too wonder why they do it, evidently they enjoy destruction and continue to destroy a lot of landmarks and places like this. I remember a day when this didn't happen often.........(ooops telling my age!!) thank you for this one, I could almost picture in my mind how it looked! Thanks again!
Hey Wonder Hussy, another great video thanks for sharing & going out there & exploring! So, how was your road trip across the US to Florida? I'm thinking about doing the same thing sooner or later with my Pops!
I used to come here with my family all the time when I was a kid back before it was destroyed and it was a nice place. But it was definitely a Christian Shrine there was nothing dedicated to other religions within it. And it was Bill and dedication as a shrine to his daughter who died it was kind of his way of coping with it by building the shrine. The bridge used to scare me to go across but there was a light switch you can turn on and it would power all the lights and everything and it was pretty cool. Unfortunately all the Tweakers started coming out there and having their little parties and wine to vandalize and stuff like that. I was real sad and to find out when I moved it back to Pahrump back in 2010 that it was no more it was vandalized and everything that was cool about it was taken out of it. It still seems like a cool place I want to take my wife there someday when I go back to Nevada. It's just sad to see what's become now out oh, I had a lot of childhood memories there
Thanks for all the great vids. Glad to hear you are n athiest and respect others views. I have been an athiest for 50 yrs. taken a lot of heat for it . My whole family are athiests. Do you know Aronra? THANKS Ron.
To look with new eyes. I usually tell people "I haven't learned to appreciate that yet." I try not to non-commit all with not appreciating somethings. A lot in art, like with Bosch or Bacon. I'm learning to appreciate deserts, a little, because of you WH. I still can't look at scab land and "look how lush!" But I can start to appreciate it's austere land scape. It's a start. I'm from Alaska, so that's a huge step...kek.
I love your introduction music plus your signiture greeting "hi, Wonderhussy here",with your glasses pulled down. Your a class act .
+selby orear thanks man, I composed the music myself
WH, you continue to make me smile. I go to Pahrump on a fairly regular basis and didn't know about this place. I now have a reason to check it out.

I also appreciate your respect for others religious views, tolerance is a virtue. Peace, I will continue watching.
It's a subtle beauty for sure....I love it! Thanks for your kind words!
If I had the money, like a lotto win, I'd try and restore this to it's former glory. I went and read more about it. It has a lot of sentimental value to a lot of people that are disgusted by the vandalism. imagine all the prayers and wishes and dreams in those canyon walls? If they could talk!! Wow.

Right on!!
Good job Sarah of wonderhussy I love your adventures I even watched your journey to South Africa
Thank you so much for this video gift. Your comments are informed, literate, respectful and touching. You revealed more about your inner beauty than you may even realize.
You are one of a kind!!!
Thank you for being so decent and caring enough to do what you do..

Such a wonderful gift he gave to us all. Thank you for showing it to us! It may be broken but the message is still there
Another Great desert video. I wish I could have seen the place before people destroyed everything. I bet it was Awesome especially when it was lite up at night. Keep up the good work. Stay Safe ! I always enjoy watching your video`s. Your Personality is Awesome !

Be safe Wonderhussy!
This was a really magical place! I love the desert so much. Hopefully I can visit one day. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS VIDEO! THANKS FOR BRINGING ALL OF US TO ALL OF THESE AMAZING LOCATIONS!
Good job on the video. I enjoy and appreciate the time and work you share with us.
What an amazing place! You're putting ideas in my head, Sarah. I might have to start documenting abandoned places over where I'm from :)
Love the videos!
Appreciate the tour thru Cathedral Canyon and the insights of the "Sweetest Little Tour Guide" I know!
The rate of decay I have observed I was surprised that spray paint graffiti wasn't all over the walls in those rest rooms ,so that gave me some encouragement .To me this was one of the best you tube videos I have seen Thank you.
+88 Billythekid aww glad you enjoyed! I wish I could have seen it in its glory days ☹
An oldie but goodie of your creations Wonderhussy. thank you for this.
Good job Wonder Hussy! Another great adventure, Thank you. Hopefully you can come visit Holcomb Valley here in Big Bear lake , You Rock lady ❤.
The thing I remember was the lights at night, gramps took me there when I was 6... 1977
Wow!! So lucky!
Really glad I found your channel... Haven't seen Cathedral Canyon since that day in "77"... It looks really shot out now... Haven't seen Pahrump in a minute either... It had only one dirt rd.

I was a Volunteer worker out there
I knew Roland Wiley really well and
his Family. I helped install the Electrical Wiring and Flood Lights

It was a Holy Place to say many

Thank you Sarah,Fantastic job again at bringing the Back country of the USA to many..Hope your summer is going well and hope to see new videos soon..Say hello to Buggy for me.88s

Please explain why you would give this a thumbs down! Another killer video. Can't wait to get back out west so I can visit all these cool spots.
Thanks for sharing once again.
The mans name was Rowland Wiley that built this.... i met him as a very small child with my father. This blows me away!!! I have been away from the area for many years and I have currently moved to pahrump and went to cathedral canyon today. What a difference 30 years makes. Roland was an interesting man he gave me a gift a small address book for some reason I’ll never forget it I think I was probably 12 or so.
Thank you for this video. My family visited that place from 1992-1999. It was so beautiful. There was stained glass and statues everywhere. The trees were alive. The stairs intact...I was baptized in that area where that silver mount is on the wall. Everyone from all walks of life came there. Albert Einstein and Abe L. Saint Martin , Mary & Jesus as a baby. All statues. A lot of occult things happened in this area , it became unsafe and is what drove my family away unfortunately. Rolan , the owner at the time buried a Native American that was excommunicated from his tribe. He buried him there to have a resting place , to be at peace. We believed he watched over the canyon.

Love your videos Wonder Hussy!
thanks!!!
Was living in Vegas years back (NYC now)....Your stories make me wanna go back and join U in adventures....!!! Thanks
When I used to drive truck OTR sometimes I'd get to New York City, one day after delivering a load I went to a truckstop in New Jersey to fuel and get something to eat. There were two guys talking about how they used to be teachers and got fed up with the school system and bought a greyhound bus and turned it into a tour bus and charted historical sight tours to the eastern parts of the New England area states and do tours to all of the historical sights, which there are many, for the rich people that didn't want to bother driving. Have you ever considered doing the same thing?
Thank you for another wonderful video.
Very good video for you not being Christiany you sound pretty knowledgeable All your site's are great and you always know the story behind them be safe and god speed
thanks! I have read part of the Bible....not the whole thing, but enough to understand where a lot of our customs and beliefs come from!
I went by there a few years ago while traveling from the China Ranch Date farm to Pahrump. It's just off the main highway. Kind of eerie.
That must of been so cool back in the day. You killed me with the, ‘desert dwellers out there quadin’ shootin’ stuff up and drinkin’ Coors Light’ in your best Larry the Cable Guy voice. What a riot you are sometimes! And I especially like your parting words, ‘keep your eyes open and look at the beauty that is all around you.’ Yes, please!
We have nothing old up here in the pacific northwest. So wet and grey up here everything just rust so fast and the forest grows through it and around it and consumes it almost overnight.
We have a house off of Roland Wiley Road. He was the architect of the shrine. Always of interest how and why they name the streets in Vegas.
Wow very interesting I'm glad your older stuff is being shown because I haven't seen some of these on your play list
Your Narration is Great,,, Love all Your Video's,,,, Be Safe out there...!!!!!
thank you!
your getting knew scribers.....good for you ..your vidios are great.....and your pics awesome...classy !!!!!!
thanks!
I have been to this wonderful place
Thank you for taking me back kudos 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the video, wish I'd known about all these places when I lived out that way.
.....Like your smile..... Love your style.....!!
I remember visiting Cathedral Canyon as a little girl. They would have Sunrise Easter services there. I was about 4 years old. I remember having to use one of those hobbit hole bathrooms!
At the box end of the canyon where the waterfall was, inside the "pond" was a beautiful tree. I don't know what kind of tree it was, but is was a wispy kind of tree, like a weeping willow. I just remember it being so beautiful and green and so out of place in the middle of the desert. But the entire place had a very reverent feel to it, even to a little girl or four.

Man I bet that place was beautiful back in it's day! I can just picture it! Speaking of picturing it, I wonder if anyone has any photos of it? I'll Google it after this, lol. So I guess we could say that he was an artist. It is a shame that nobody kept up the work. Thanks for sharing the video.
Thank you Wonder Hussy Never heard of Chehoe.. before interesting Is this location listed on maps???
you can google it pretty easily and find it :)
That is ashamed that they let that go. I watched this once before and somehow after that I saw a video with the stained glass and lights. Very cool video. Thanks
Wow if you composed the music yourself, then you are a very talented woman! It is not only beautiful but fits right in with your funkyness
+selby orear well I just used GarageBand on my Mac. Not like I had to play any real instruments or anything lol
it's sad when you think about all the time and money he put into this area, and then to see all of it ruined by the non caring
I enjoyed that ... thank you BjD (Perth, Western Australia)
thank you .. I really Enjoyed this one Greatly ..
He sounds like he had a good heart.
GREAT VIDEO. THERE ARE A FEW PICS ONLINE OF CATHEDRAL CANYON FROM BACK IN THE DAY.
Great video Wonderhussy It's a shame what people do destroying great places like this. You find the best places!
Thanks WH. Visited this site, late March 2022. Regrettable how vandals trashed this once beautiful monument. Crossed my mind, too, Amy, what would it take to restore this place? Imagine quite a sum of money.
Yes, its a shame to see the lack of respect given to unique locations, thanks for the tour
WH, you made the place come alive.
Spirituality and religion don't require each other. You love the desert. For many of us, the desert is it's own spirituality. I spent 30 years in the Antelope Valley. I met many who just never got it, even though they were born to it. They liked doing that same stupid, destructive crap. My first sight of Palmdale was January 1st, 1971. Eighteen inches of snow. Joshua trees with snow on them look absolutely other worldly. Been as far west as Singapore and east to Florida. Two years on Oahu. The sunsets just don't compare. Or under the full moon away from town. Nothing to get in the way of the light, but even then, the canyons can be so dark. And it is full of life if you take the time to look.
Wow, I would go out there in 96/97. Little beat up,but it's really peacefull out there at night.
she should be on the travel channel, you can tell she's really into it.....wow
I enjoy your adventures , to different locations were do you do your research?
Everywhere! I get tips from friends and fans
Thank you for sharing this video, I know it's 4 years old, but I'm guessing here, that man could've been the one that built the Grotto here in Iowa, if the one in Nevada was as spectacular as the one in Iowa, you missed out of a treasure, because the one in Iowa is beautiful, which I seen when my family went on vacation one year. I hope you get to see the Grotto in Iowa.
Enjoyed your video, interesting place! Did you ever make it to Daytona on your road trip?
3:02 there used to be a sign on that Archway that said gateway to the Stars. Also the man who built it was named Roland Wiley. After he died some people did try to take care of it but they just didn't have the money. I remember when I would go they were occasionally people sitting at the top of the stairs watching over the place and taking donations but it just wasn't Ever Enough.
Hi. I am filipino. I think im inlove again when i watch your video ! Jesus christ miracle !
Absolutely loved this video what an awesome place. thx
You should have visited Art Bell, he lives in Pahrump. Art never talked about it, imagine how awesome that was at night with the lights on, party spot indeed!
It wasn't really in Art's wheelhouse I guess...he had other interests!
Wonder Hussy I listened to Art Bell from 1997 until his 3rd, 4th retirement , ha, C2C just isn't the same W/O Art, George Noory is awful...Happy Travels👽👽👽❗️
A beautiful and unique place and idea. So wish I could have seen it in the day!
+Gully Foyle me too!!
Another great video sweetheart. x
I'm heading there this weekend, love the video
In my ramblings I have made a couple of small shrines in the wild with small statues of The Virgin Mary with a rosary. There are 2 in obscure areas of Palo Duro Canyon. They are still there after 30 years last I checked. Pray for Peace and spread love.
Very good video WonderHussy! I continue to be amazed at what people do to destroy what someone considers a heaven for others to enjoy. I too wonder why they do it, evidently they enjoy destruction and continue to destroy a lot of landmarks and places like this. I remember a day when this didn't happen often.........(ooops telling my age!!) thank you for this one, I could almost picture in my mind how it looked! Thanks again!
The beauty is double with you in the picture
Very cool video,Thank You
Girl WH For an Atheist your video commentary sparks a belief to me. Your days at the retreat have broken thru.
So wise...Thank -you for the video....
Hey Wonder Hussy, another great video thanks for sharing & going out there & exploring! So, how was your road trip across the US to Florida? I'm thinking about doing the same thing sooner or later with my Pops!
it was fun, planning to blog about it soon!
Cool place! It probably felt like you were in Jerusalem while you were walking around. Thanks Wonderhussy! You rock!
I went there in 1980 as a kid with my folks he would play any church music you wanted that's the old hidden hills ranch.
I used to come here with my family all the time when I was a kid back before it was destroyed and it was a nice place. But it was definitely a Christian Shrine there was nothing dedicated to other religions within it. And it was Bill and dedication as a shrine to his daughter who died it was kind of his way of coping with it by building the shrine. The bridge used to scare me to go across but there was a light switch you can turn on and it would power all the lights and everything and it was pretty cool. Unfortunately all the Tweakers started coming out there and having their little parties and wine to vandalize and stuff like that. I was real sad and to find out when I moved it back to Pahrump back in 2010 that it was no more it was vandalized and everything that was cool about it was taken out of it. It still seems like a cool place I want to take my wife there someday when I go back to Nevada. It's just sad to see what's become now out oh, I had a lot of childhood memories there
Thanks for all the great vids. Glad to hear you are n athiest and respect others views. I have been an athiest for 50 yrs. taken a lot of heat for it . My whole family are athiests. Do you know Aronra? THANKS Ron.
To look with new eyes. I usually tell people "I haven't learned to appreciate that yet." I try not to non-commit all with not appreciating somethings. A lot in art, like with Bosch or Bacon.
I'm learning to appreciate deserts, a little, because of you WH. I still can't look at scab land and "look how lush!" But I can start to appreciate it's austere land scape. It's a start. I'm from Alaska, so that's a huge step...kek.
Ÿour Viedo s Are Super Amazing 😊!! Thank You!!
I would love to go hang out there, probably start tinkering and end up rebuilding the place.
That would be Cool to see pics of that in it's Hay Day ! Nice !
Interesting geological formation in the desert!
It also had a bridge that went all the way across that was so scary to cross when my brothers and I were little haha
