Kirwin, Wyoming: Discovering One of America’s Most Haunted and Well-preserved Ghost Towns

Near the top of my wishlist in 2021 for things I wanted to see out west on our big go west trip was ‘visit a ghost town.’ This turned out to be easier imagined than done. It wasn’t until 2023 that we made my wish happen. And what a journey and a challenge that was.

If you’re looking for one of the most fascinating, rugged, and mysterious places to explore in the American West, look no further than

Ordinarily, I do not leave low reviews. I mark a book as read and say nothing. But I didn't want anyone to think I recommended this book, having seen that I read it, and I don't want Goodreads recommending similar books to me.

“I’m sorry, Rob,” she said softly.

He grunted. “Sorry is a sorry word.”

-A Desperate Journey”
Debra Parmley, A Desperate Journey

“Then she saw him walking from the barn to the bunkhouse.


Hardworking Rob, who did so much for her and never asked for anything in return. Here she’d been indulging herself, enjoying the fancy soap, the nice nightgown and he was still working. Working to provide a place for them to stay. 


He looked up and she raised her hand to wave to him, longing to tell him all she felt in her heart and didn’t know how to put into words. She wanted to say come look at the moon with me, let me wash your hands and your tired face, let me ease your boots off and rest. Rest here with me.

He stopped and stared at her almost as if he’d read her thoughts. 

- A Desperate Journey”
Debra Parmley, A Desperate Journey

“I'm no angel." - Lillian Hayes

"Who wants an angel anyway." - Nicholas Brace

Dangerous Ties by Debra Parmley”

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”
Harry Crosby, Transit of Venus

“Do you know a cure for me?"

"Why yes," he said, "I know a cure for everything. Salt water."

"Salt water?" I asked him.

"Yes," he said, "in one way or the other. Sweat, or tears, or the salt sea.”
Isak Dinesen, Seven Gothic Tales

“If I know a song of Africa, of the giraffe and the African new moon lying on her back, of the plows in the fields and the sweaty faces of the coffee pickers, does Africa know a song of me? Will the air over the plain quiver with a color that I have had on, or the children invent a game in which my name is, or the full moon throw a shadow over the gravel of the drive that was like me, or will the eagles of the Ngong Hills look out for me?”
Isak Dinesen

“It's an odd feeling-farewell-there is some envy in it. Men go off to be tested for courage and if we're tested at all, it's for patience, for doing without, for how well we can endure loneliness.”
Isak Dinesen

“Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.”
Isak Dinesen
