"Ed's Camp is another roadside attraction that harkens back to the early days of Route 66. Ed originally came to the area as a miner in 1917 and it didn't take him long to realize that the real gold could be found catering to the needs of Route 66 travelers than slaving away in the mines. He established his camp around 1919 and business was so good he never got around to building a proper building, he just threw up a roof to provide some measure of protection from the hot desert sun. he put up the kactus kafe, a gas station, a "bathroom of sorts, and a few cabins. He also established sort of a campground and the remnants can be clearly seen from the road.
Today the camp is deserted, but the odd buildings survive to temp the artistic talents of modern photographers ~ from the road that is (see note below).

Note: I should have placed this photo -- and all of the other ones that I'll be uploading on April 18-19, 2015 -- at the end of this album of Washington, DC photos (i.e., the ones that got uploaded first), because they were taken in 1946, long after my mother had gotten divorced, and moved (with me) from Florida back to her mother's house in Washington, DC.
In a few of the photos, you'll note that my mother has now met, and presumably begun dating, my stepfather Ray Yourdon. He was based in Washington at the end of his Navy enlistment; and when it was all over, they got married and the family moved to Denver in 1947 (which you'll find in a separate Flickr album covering the period of 1947-50).
******************************
Mom's note on this snapshot says, "The dishpan again". No specific date on this picture, so I've arbitrarily assigned the date of July 15th of 1946.
**********************************
All of the photos in this album are “originals” from the period when I was an infant in the mid-1940s — i.e., the period before I lived in Omaha, Riverside, Roswell, New York, Ft. Worth, and Denver (photos of which you may have seen already in my Flickr archives).
Before I get into the details, let me make a strong request — if you’re looking at these photos, and if you are getting any enjoyment at all of this brief look at some mundane Americana from 70+ years ago: find a similar episode in your own life, and write it down. Gather the pictures, clean them up, and upload them somewhere on the Internet where they can be found. Trust me: there will come a day when the only person on the planet who actually experienced those events is you. Your own memories may be fuzzy and incomplete; but they will be invaluable to your friends and family members, and to many generations of your descendants.
My own story changes dramatically at this point: the man I’ve presented as my Dad in previous Flickr albums, Ray Yourdon, was actually my stepfather. My birth parents grew up in Washington DC, married, and moved to Florida in the early days of World War II. My birth father worked as a flight instructor for the Air Force, and I was born on an Air Force base near Ft. Walton Beach, in the panhandle section of Florida (which you can read about here, if you’re interested: www.eglin.af.mil )
Some time after that, my parents divorced and my mother moved back to Washington with me, to live with her mother. After a bitter custody battle over me (so I’ve been told), I didn’t see my birth-father again until I was 30—at which point I was surprised to learn that I had three more half-sisters, in addition to the two I had grown up with (i.e., both my mother and my birth-father had remarried after they got divorced from each other). But that’s another story, with another set of photos ...
Meanwhile, my mother worked as a secretary in the Pentagon as the war wound down, and when my stepfather ended up in Washington toward the end of his tour of duty in the Navy, they met, and married, and moved to Denver to begin a new life … chapters of which you’ve been seeing in these Flickr albums during the last several weeks.
So the photos in this album are from my birth in Florida through the first year or so of my childhood in Washington — uploaded in reverse chronological order, starting in 1945. I haven’t written any details, because I have no conscious memory of what was happening at the time; and at this point, all of my parents, step-parents, and grandparents are gone. Yes, I do have five wonderful sisters, all of whom share various memories with me; but I’m the oldest of the brood, so I have no siblings with first-hand information about what I was doing for the first year or two of my life.
All I have are the photos that you see here. But they do tell a story, and that’s why I think it’s so important that you track down all of your own photos and preserve them somewhere for the generations who will follow after you.

This 60-second video/slideshow was taken on 19 January 2025 and demonstrates the beautiful reflection photography possible using the early morning sunlight here in Spain.
‘Ed’ is a mannequin at the Trans-Allegheny Insane Asylum. That’s what I call him anyway. Ed is without a doubt, the creepiest mannequin I have ever seen. Hands down. I am telling you, in complete honesty, that I felt completely unnerved in the presence of it and didn’t feel comfortable turning my back on it. Totally weird.

This is Ed Cohen. He is a great advocate for mass transit in Baltimore (a city that really needs his kind of advocacy) and he typically pops up, when an article is written on the subject. You can read about his efforts in this list of articles in The Sun:

Quando viene la notte,
io sto sulla scala e ascolto,
le stelle sciamano in giardino
ed io sto nel buio.
Senti, una stella è caduta risuonando!
Non andare a piedi nudi sull'erba;
il mio giardino è pieno di schegge

I swear, there's a whole universe inside Ed's eyes. Even the specs of dust around her eyes look like stardust.
