MacKenzie Wells old town
Laura drives the hire car out into the desert to old town MacKenzie Wells.
Linda hangs out the window, snapping pictures of the rock formations.
The Chevy bounces along in a cloud of red dust as Laura drives around pot holes and craters.
Then they see the first tumble-down buildings at the edge of the town, stark against the desert landscape.
Further in, some of the buildings have been restored or are being worked on.
Laura turns onto Main Street and parks the Chevy in a shady spot.
Everyone stays inside for a minute, waiting for the dust to settle. Then the detectives climb out of the air conditioned car into the heat, eager to explore the old town.
