Vintage photos of Chambless, surrounding area wanted

Gus Lizalde, proprietor of the Chambless66 blog dedicated to the Mojave Desert ghost town of Chambless, Calif., says he’s “getting close” to beginning reconstruction of Chambless.

To assist this project, he’s seeking vintage photos of Chambless and the surrounding area, including Cadiz Summit and the Road Runner Cafe. You can e-mail images to design1one(at)aol(dot)com.

“We plan to restore the Chambless station to its former self as seen in the pictures on the Web site,” said Tom Martin, who’s helping Lizalde. “(We’re) looking for color images in particular.”

If anyone needs a reminder of Chambless in the olden days, here’s a vintage image of Chambless from the site.
