My butt is sticking out because we were bouncing up and down. Hillbillies are secure in their sexuality.

A yucca plant.








Essex, Ca., which is about 15 miles away from Goffs, and had a population of between 100 and 200. The building on the left is the post office.




This is a one room schoolhouse in Essex, Ca. I went to school here for one year, and one year only.


Another view of the schoolhouse. I hated school here. HATED it. Now it's abandoned, and there's no love lost on my part.








Back in Goffs. This is a schoolhouse that was falling apart when I lived in Goffs until a cowboy moved in and fixed it up. A few years later, a historian came in and fixed it up even more. He now lives there and is a Goffs historian. Seriously.


Inside the schoolhouse, which is now a museum. I used to have piano lessons on this piano. The cowboy who fixed the schoolhouse had a wife, and this was her piano.


Me, my mom, the Goffs historian and his wife.
