a bunch of horse shit

unfortunately, it costs $6 to get in the ghost town of calico. that may explain why it is a ghost town. not many people are willing to check out a town it costs money to get into. and since when do ghosts need money? what do they spend it on? shoes? white sheets? cigarettes? needless to say i'm not going to spend my hard-earned money to see a bunch of money grubbing ghosts that are likely invisible anyway.

but i might as well take a snapshot of this giant cowboy with a shovel.
i don't quite get "ghost" when i look at this guy. i think of a guy shoveling horse shit. but i guess he could be digging a grave? i guess that's what they were going for? maybe they should re-consider their signage, to effectively convey the theme of "ghost town," otherwise people are going to think they're entering some "horse shit town" that happens to be called calico.
