Commanche Station (1960)
Didn't know there was a Charleston, Arizona. I will have to do some stuying and use that as a setting since I come from a town called Charleston, Arkansas.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find Charleston, AZ, on the map. A couple of desolate looking places there.
ReplyDeleteCharles and Oscar, there are a few pics of what was left of this old mining town in the 1930s at http://tinyurl.com/6sw9cgh
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that's Nose Hill in the background on the left in the photo of Calgary. It is the only landmark that is still recognizable. The hill is now an 11.27 (km)2 park in north-west Calgary that protects native rough fescue grasslands, over 95% of which have been lost in North America.
ReplyDeleteWas in Broken Bow a few years ago - this place muct be gone. Maybe not? Enjoy the photos
ReplyDeleteI think I could enjoy getting lost in Knowles Canyon!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is a constant source of inspiration, Ron. Marvelous pics.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Love that Knowles Canyon photo. Looks like two strip technicolor. Much happiness in 2012, Ron!
ReplyDeleteCharleston was a hangout for the anti-Earp forces during the OK Corral period.
