Rhyolite Bus Stop

When I was a kid I loved making and playing with dummies. I stumbled upon this wonderful grouping on a trip to Rhyolite, a ghost town on the outskirts of Death Valley. A classic boom/bust mining town, Rhyolite had a brief, shining moment as a boom town, complete with banks, a symphony, a train station and schools. Within less than 10 years, the mines had pretty much played out and the town slowly went to ruin. I don't know who put up this great piece of soft sculpture art but I appreciate the effort and love the result.
