The ghost town Long pine, Californie

Pursued by the henchmen of the false Jack Lee, Kelly Capwell and Nick Hartley find refuge in an abandoned town dating of the time of the western conquest. This city would have been able to be used as set to Little House in the Prairie. Of this strange ghost town, completely made of wood, there is only a main street with some houses and naturally the saloon, at the angle of a street. The main street seems to have appeared from nowhere, so much it is isolated in the middle of fields and of the forest. It is there that they decide to settle down and to take advantage of a little rest in this haven of peace. Away from the town, pours a river near which Kelly will collect berries which will make her sick.

The entrance of the saloon consists of some traditional wooden doors and of an old wheel of wagon at the entry.

We then enter the main room, with the heavy wooden counter, the tables and the chairs.

In a corner of the room, there is a vestige of an old mechanical piano. At the occasion of their false wedding, Kelly will ask to Nick to make her dance.

Aside, a staircase allows to reach the floor. To the first floor, we find only vestiges of bedrooms, with, at the big happiness of Kelly and Nick, an old bathtub.

It is in this totally offbeat place (situated at a few miles away from one of the most famous sea resort of California) that Kelly and Nick invent for themselves a wedding ceremony, further to the discovery of old clothes in a suitcase, with for only witness a rabbit named Brigitte.

Kelly will return to the ghost town a few months later, in order to hide from the dangerous Carlo Alvarez and his men. She will hide there the map leading to an African gold mine that she has stolen to help Dylan, Nick's brother.
