Red Oak II

Hundreds of miles on the asfalt, torrid heat, no cellphone service. We are just in the middle of nowhere and decided to take a small deviation to visit Red Oak II. As in a sequel of an Hollywood movie, this town was named after the original Red Oak, located just a few miles ahead when it was abandoned and a local artist decided to move his old town into a new location. It's a mock town now, but I think the artist did a good job as I'm sure the new Red Oak that he imagined is prettier than the old one. Maybe that's the message he wants to send: beauty is just at the reach of a fertile imagination...for better or for worse.
