RE: A Time Forgotten - Photo Gallery

in #photography5 years ago (edited)

I'm trying to remember the places I went to, I think Cody rings a bell but that's turned in to a bit of a tourist trap with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I love those wild west stories, we get quite a lot of them (overly dramatised of course) on the History channel over here. They are so dramatic in the programme you actually feel like you were there yourself!

Once I have gone through my Australia and New Zealand travel adventure (which may be a while yet), I'll go back through my notes when I was at one ghost/mining town in Colorado. Pretty surreal birthday that one in 2014! The group I was travelling with got me a pink cowboy hat with a cap gun that I had to wear with the outrageous t-shirts we wore... sorry, massively sidetracked!

If you haven't been already, you might want to check out Jefferson on the eastern part of Texas. They do a ghost tour there and the walking tour guide is really good. My friend who lives there told me of a few stories she experienced and I thought something paranormal was going on in my room as well (apart from my own awesome presence that is haha!)

Haha yeah I lived near Deadwood for a bit and they really hype up the Wild West stories, including hourly reenactments.. but hey, the tourists love it I guess haha.

Pink cowboy hats in Colorado!?! Lol looking forward to those posts! 😂

I haven’t been to eastern Texas but will have to put it on my list. The paranormal stuff totally freaks me out, but I am intrigued by the history surrounding it and hearing the stories etc.

Hey, I definitely loved it! Wonder what some of those hardy people would have to say about the world today...

Oh dear... maybe I shouldn't have said that haha! Going to have to include that picture now... I'll try to remember and tag you but it may be a while before I get around to it yet!

I have to admit, I was a little bit spooked when I was there and we went on this ghost walk. The mind has an incredible ability to play games with you, especially once you hear stories and the like! Texas is a pretty wild place, but they know how to do ribs out there (if you're a meat eater), my goodness! There's a lot of history (what Americans consider history anyway :P ) in that state so if you are heading out that way, can give you some pointers!
