A few photos of Amboy, which became a ghost town in California when the interstate opened. I stopped for a few photos on the way to Twentynine Palms back in July. #Amboy #Unset1965 #UnsetMotel

For the last few months, I’ve been receiving regular letters as part of a creepy little epistolary story. The series is called Unset 1965, and is about a woman who buys a motel which she runs by herself in the middle of the California desert in the early 1970s. The story is by Shing Yin Khor, and is pretty phenomenal. It’s set in Amboy, which is a real ghost town that I visited this summer (without realizing the connection).
