Writing From the Inside

What was once Platte Jr. High School is now Platte Middle School. How this helps the kids, I'll never know. At any rate, I wanted to take pics as the buses were arriving at the end of the day. I would have liked to have pics without any people in them, but when there are buses there are kids so what can you do. Here are the results!

I love realism in my stories, so you bet there's a Valmont Cemetary and it's in sad shape, considering how historical it is. It's at the very top of a ridge at the edge of town, right next to Valmont Butte. Valmont Butte has been used for years for gravel and brick making and there used to be a brick making company right there too. I think now it's just where the gravel company is, where their trucks are parked and so on.
