The Contrabando
In an unimposing stretch of West Texas desert, there sits a dormant ghost town that not only lacks living residents today, but also never even had any to begin with. This collection of crumbling structures was originally made for a Roy Clark movie in the 80s called
Uphill All the Way. There is one original adobe building called La Casita which the rest of the set was built around, but time and, incredibly enough,
water damage in 2008 have taken their toll, though La Casita amazingly still stands intact. Now, its a properly ruined, decrepit ghost town.
