No.2 is the designation for this Long Valley Fire Engine. Which means there was, conceivably, a no. 1. And why is ‘number’ abbreviated no.? Why not nu.? And why was the Long Valley Fire Engine found in Mount Carmel, Utah? I just have so many questions.

Alone

You’re so obvious,
you’re so oblivious,
and now you wonder why,
you’re the one alone.
So don’t apologize,
you don’t even realize,
you screwed it up this time
now you’re the one alone.

The town of Grafton is currently under renovation, which is removing all the authenticity that an historic ruin reflects. Still, there is the Grafton cemetery just outside of town that is the final resting place for a few dozen inhabitants of the time. The remaining buildings of the Grafton ghost town are a mix of authentic pioneer era structures and modern-built “period” movie sets constructed for the 1969 classic “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford. These buildings are clearly recognizable to fans of the movie. All are located on private property, and trespassing will likely bring a quick visit from a Washington County Sheriff’s deputy.

Oz

For some reason, this image reminded me of The Wizard Of Oz, hence the title and quote.

Please visit Photos By Emilio for the color version that looks nothing like Oz! Or Kansas!

So come on girl, what do you say?
We head for 11 south in my Chevrolet
Hop in the back, it ain’t no crime
If I get to know all of your tan lines
