OK, I forgot as well. My old college bud up in Weed (7,000 ft "high" up
in
the Rockies) gets more than his share of winter.

Hey... 7000 feet isn't anything to be sneezed at!
;)

At first I thought you meant Weed, CA - which is a little over 4000
feet above sea level.

There is a town Weed, NM, which when I saw it in the 60's was nothing but
an
abandoned mining town; one that will remain in my memory because of the
large brick hospital still standing. Not a soul in site. Would've been a
wonderful place for a movie.

Always wondered what happened to this town, and I just looked up Weed,
NM,
and it doesn't appear to be anything like that at all.

It's alive! :)

Thanks, Blinky, I saw those pages.
These buildings were substantial enough to be still standing and if there
were tourists to come, they would have had historic value. So beautiful, I
saw nothing to reflect this beauty on those pages. But it lives in my
memory.
I did see a picture on the site of the school which they said burnt in the
1930's.
