As I headed back to Arizona from a week in Texas in March, 2001, I decided to leave Interstate-10 west of Lordsburg and take the road toward "Ghost" Peak. The peak is visible from Interstate-10, but sits 50 miles south. The road off of I-10 went through the towns of Cotton City and Animas. In Animas, the state maintenance ended and a lesser paved road headed south. This road had no markings and generally meandered through ranchland, which got progressively prettier as I headed south. Along the way, I encountered these signs, which the locals have obviously customized for their own amusement. I took this paved road to its end, about 20 miles south of the town of Animas and over 40 miles south of the Interstate.    Variations on a theme. Animas Peak is in the background on the left.
