Really hit some bad weather down south this year…going to my Texas homebase for a couple weeks…stay safe out there fellow travelers and may our guardian Angels have a sense of humor upon us all✌️💜🌵🇺🇸

Neighbors visiting at my Lost Lariat Ranch 🌵

Flying Southwest

This is FM 2017 in Culberson County,Texas. One of my home bases is there–The Lost Lariat Ranch.

The area is unique mix of old time cowboy life and escapees from the city ! It is still open range which means cattle, horses and donkeys,etc. roam freely!!

It is a great life on the Lost Highway✌️

Abandoned Ranch Road

Wandering around with my pal Smitty,I spot a two track, almost completely overgrown..so, we follow it towards the mountain.

Lobo Valley, Texas

We can see at one time it was well traveled. Well graveled and it was partially fenced. It had heavy wooden fixtures on either side. Signs that a lot of people once used this Road

After some research,I believe it once led to the now closed off and private Van Horn Wells.

These photos are of a half buried old strong box.

My imagination went wild…was it from an old stagecoach…did some pioneers abandon it for some reason..???

We may never know!! But, wow, what a great find🤠

Old Stuff

Old stuff has magic. It drives imaginations. It tickles the travelin’ bone!

That is what this blog is all about! It answers the questions like; what is down that old dirt road?

What happened in this ghost town?

Why is this old homestead abandoned…it looks like they just sat down for breakfast!

Let’s see where this old trail takes us.

What’s around that bend of the mountain?

Well, I am a semi retired photojournalist and a full time dreamer,an avid camper ,(in out of the way places,) and full-time photographer..Lol! I photograph it all!! All, before it is gone forever!!

My wish is that you will follow along this Lost Highway and share with me the long lost,but not ever really forgotten past 🙂

That is me BettyShea in a wash Lobo, Texas
