Malibu 2008

Scarlett liked her sunglasses that opened up.
Teresa with her glamour butterfly.

Mombo enjoying the house.


Abby enjoying someone else's house, Espie's.



I didn't even realize I was missing a lens.




No sightings of Cindy Crawford but we did get to sit in Engine 99's cab at the Malibu Fire Station.

Even More Photos

Sue in jail.
This is the Union Church up on the hill.

Empty safe inside the demolished courthouse.


Looking west across the remains of the courthouse.



Now looking east through the courthouse arch.




More from Hillsboro

The jail was located next to the courthouse for easy access.


Sometimes the outlaws from Hillsboro would be housed in the jail and when it was overcrowded they were relocated to Kingston, NM down the road.

Courthouse: The county seat was housed in Hillsboro where a beautiful two story courthouse was constructed on the hill. This is all that remains. Most of the bricks were relocated to Truth or Consequences, down the road. Dad said T/C used to be called Hot Spring but was renamed after the popular radio program. Hillsboro is trying to restore the building but it looks like it'll take a lot of dinero.


Public Porta Potties were not so friendly. Lots of wipies needed.



Dad was in the east cell, a pretty big area for one person but small for the groups of bad guys that were probably held there.




Hillsboro NM
















Mombo, Dadbo, Dana and I went to Scottsdale, Deming, Hillsboro, Silver City, Tucson and back home in 4 days. We drove over 1550 miles according to the new Mercedes. Here are some photos.
