Outhouse
At the Red Mud Cemetery, there’s a covered pavilion with benches and tables. And, further up the hill, a pair of outhouses. Without getting into much detail, I’ll just say that this one was a three-holer.

The Hinsons are cowboys
The Hinsons have a large family plot; many of the headstones are engraved with images of people on horseback. And several graves are decorated with lariats that won’t be needed any more.

Metered Service
Of course I’ll walk down an alley!
That’s where the utility meters are.

Lost: 2 Bulls
We nearly missed this sign. Well, we DID miss it, the first time by. At the very last second, I caught the word “lost” and decided it would probably be worth an investigative u-turn.
Turns out there are a couple of missing bulls somewhere near Spur.
The other side of the sign advertises 2 lost cows, both black.
Maybe there’s a fence in need of repair?

This took a while
It’s a big, old, leaky building. It’s full of old cars and trucks, broken (I assume) appliances, and piles and piles of clothes. This particular pile has been there so long that the coat hanger has started to rust, leaving a hanger-shaped stain on the shirt. In a rainy climate this wouldn’t take long – but Spur gets only about 23 inches of rain per year (less, lately: we’re in a drought). So, it’s been a while since that pile of shirts landed on the floor.
