Cuervo, New Mexico: A Real Ghost Town

Over Labor Day weekend, hubby and I took a quick trip to New Mexico to visit a few friends and to take in the sites. We ran across an actual ghost town along I40!

There appeared to be someone “living” in the house next to the church as there were blankets on the floor and a plastic milk carton, as well as an Ouji Board on the wall! 

We also found the school where the kids of this town probably attended.
