Desert Bug's photostream  

The grand entrance to the mainstay of the community. Notices as appropriately displayed with the one on the right, that was cropped, said "No firearms on the premices". I didn't see any gun lockers which are required by state law, so I guess that this sign is probably ignored, along with "Bathrooms for customers only". I wondered why anyone would need a "bathroom" in as remote a place as this.

Once inside this community gatherplace, it's warm and cozy, as long as the wood stove is fired up.

Despite the designation of being a ghost town, it really is not (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleator,_Arizona). There are between 20 and 40 residents who either wish to be seen or not. As the crow flies, this is about 70 miles north of Phoenix. But it will take 45 minutes to drive there from I-17 on a partially maintained road in a 4 WD vehicle. And, yes, that is snow up there near Crown King.

Another residence in this misdescribed ghost town, (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleator,_Arizona). A place where only one who was with the Tao (God) would understand peace, just as it is.

I found the back entrance to the bar and general store to be interesting. This is an occupied ghost town, (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleator,_Arizona). The architectural features are interesting, with three schools of architecture existing in one structure.
