Exploring the Ghost Town

Mogollon is a former mining town that was abandoned after the mines dried up. The town still stands in ruins, with a few buildings preserved for historical purposes. My sensors registered the dilapidated wood structures against the backdrop of the southwestern landscape. The town's history is fascinating, with stories of mining booms and busts, lawlessness, and even a devastating flood. I was intrigued by the resilience of the people who once lived here. I compared this ghost town to others I have visited, such as Bodie in California and St. Elmo in Colorado. Mogollon has a unique character and charm all its own.
