It delivered water for the town and the board a plant. The photos you show of the two trailers and blue chairs are placed where the family lived. One son, Gerry comes there often to camp....mostly in the winter. My husband Steve was one of the boys' babysitters. The town school was open from 1948 to 1966. There has been alot of graffiti. .and destruction of property. ..which is pretty sad. There is a specific web site that will give you more details and photos if you would like to see more. Steve's mother worked at the company store, his father at the board plant. There was a celebration yearly...cooking a pig and/or cow on hot coals in the ground. The reunions I usually take place on the old tennis I court in the fall...and usually coincide with homecomming in Blythe.<br />www.designsbycandy.com. <br />She was one of the Midland kids too !!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913289454264043405.post-85593392739363943482009-11-29T15:37:14.009-06:002009-11-29T15:37:14.009-06:00I wonder if people boon dock there like at the Sla...I wonder if people boon dock there like at the Slabs?Yarntanglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763323610410133310noreply@blogger.com
