Ghost towns




Some pix of Jerome, Calico and another ghost town. Many towns sprung up the time of the Gold Rush starting in the 1840s. They would live for 30 years and, with no more mining, people would abandon the town and move on.

Tombstone AZ





A few pics of the town where the red cowboys dueled with Doc Holliday and his people. Trippy place. Yours truly visited this town in 1987. It has mostly become a tourist town...but the energy vibes of this place remain in spite of that. Here also is the OK Corral where the gunfight took place.

Old West I




Here's a hotel from the 1880s...a lynching and pistol from the day.

Earthquake Damage






Many examples...in big quakes you can sometimes see fissures in the earth that weren't there before. Fallen trees, bridges, power lines, whole buildings, sudden avalanches, rivers completely running a different course (as in Missouri 1812), broken gas lines, power outtages, fires, explosions, new emerging hilly terrain, ...these are just a few examples.

Great Earthquake Chile 5/22/60






One of the greatest recorded quakes. Here's where the tsunami went and time frame.
