Even though I initially told you I wasn’t going to be able to make it, I actually did trek out to the rural, remote, hidden-from-plain-sight ghost town of Vishnu Springs on Sunday with C-Nor.
(more below, after these photos).
The second year of the “open house” was an absolutely heavenly fall day. And in addition to sharing the feeling of taking it in with all the other people interested in the intriguing history of the place, I ran in to lots of friends from my hometown of Carthage. (Though, I couldn’t get any of them to own up to having done this!)

Cool! I wish I could of went with you guys!
Hopefully they will have an open house sometime when you are back in the area!
I visited the spring many times in the early 70, good time were had back then. I have some photos of my visits on the web. And I really hope to make it back for an open house or would like to help do some cleaning up if needed.
