There's a ghost town by bear mountain? I've been there so many times, I'm sad I missed it.

If it's very dilapidated and nature has taken over most of what remains, it may be easy to miss if you don't know what you're looking for.

Who left? And don't let it bother you too much, Calimocho. In my 6 1/2 years here I've seen so many good people leave. It's part and parcel of a forum.

I'll try and look for it the next time I go. But I'll have to drag someone along with me, I get spooked too easily if I do anything like that alone.

I know. There's this little island of the coast of Mexico (possibly, could be somewhere else) someone filled with the remains of old dolls. Even looking at the pictures of it sends shivers up your spine.

Speaking of wallpaper, I found out that the flag I use now has a whole print pattern with a bunch of space cats, so that's my new phone wallpaper.

Well, that's how the internet works. People come and go. There are so many great people I met on NS, like you! When I joined in 2011 I never thought this would be possible. :p

Hah, La Isla de las Muñecas. :p People say it's haunted. In reality, it is nothing more than a memorial for a little girl that drowned in the waters of the Xochimilco river.

Hm, I should make a "what is your computer/phone wallpaper?" thread sometime. Although, there's a lot of things I need to do on NS, so I'll probably never get around to it.

I'm using stills from Stalker Cat. Live wallpapers are cool, but are a killer in battery consumption.
