I haven't been to this ghost city yet, I appreciate it here. Is this ghostly sound caused by the special geographical location of the terrain and mounds in the wind? Posted: 02/11/2024 08:17:29
This would be a great place to get some drone photos, if allowed. I'd like to see what the landscape looks like up close. To that end, I did a closer crop, to see what some of those buttes? look like. I want to be closer. Posted: 02/27/2024 12:11:27
