$During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) an outbreak of leprosy on the island of Tenerife began to raise alarm; by 1940 a total of 197 cases had been reported. Early medicine lacked a familiarity with the infectious disease, and this was reflected in crude methods of therapy and treatment of the afflicted.\n\nAt the time it was believed quarantined isolation in an arid, temperate climate was the most appropriate solution to dealing with the malady. Tenerife’s first leprosy station was on the north side of the island. The second would be located in Arico, near “Los Abriguitos” and present-day Abades.\n\nThe location was also conveniently out of the way of the public’s eye. Spanish ruler Francisco Franco’s Falange military would oversee the southern leper colony project, which was given the green light in 1942.\n\nSpanish architect Jose Enrique Marrero Regalado (pictured above right), was well-versed in neo-canario monumental design, and tasked to pen the sanatorium structures. He is also credited with the Basilica in Candelaria, the Cabildo and the Mercado de Nuestra Señora de África in Santa Cruz, and the Siboney Building in Santander, Spain.\n\nThe “Sanatorio de Abona” consisted of forty buildings, including a crematorium, dormitories, a hospital, and the impressive church. Patients were to be separated for the healthy and sick by gender. The sanatorium itself contained a dining hall, exam rooms, temporary residential quarters, and a recreation area.$

The 1860-1 Pony Express Trail wanders through the sagebrush valleys with Toquima Range in the background outside Austin, Nevada along Highway 50, the “loneliest road in America.”

Even California, where real estate is at a premium, has her ghost towns. Far inland and near the CA-NV border, the ghost town of Bodie rests in peace, a casualty of the 1800s search for gold. The original structures are still standing, thanks to the concern of people who cared to preserve history. A general store, church, gas station, and gymnasium are only a few of the buildings to see - and many of them have the artifacts from the Old West days.
