Stumbled upon this lil’ oddity after getting hopelessly lost in Wharton State Forest. This can be found right on the side of Rt. 542.
We sort of just stumbled upon this one…while getting new pics of the Carranza Memorial, Annie told me this ghost town was nearby. I’ve heard about it quite a few times….some people even told me it’s the hardest ghost town to find in the Pines. I thought it...
