This is an iPhone photo, taken at Bonnie Springs Ranch about three years ago. Bonnie Springs is gone thanks to greedy land developers.

The Ol’ Miner
The ol’ miner went to the ol’ miner’s retirement home since Bonnie Springs Ranch is gone.
The Old Shooting Gallery
Here are a couple more iPhone photos from the defunct Bonnie Springs Ranch. It’s kind of funny that I never noticed the No Photography sign over the bar until today! How did I miss it?
Oops!
Dead Deere
This dead deere was at the now-dead Bonnie Springs Ranch…
Invisible Coolant
The blade pulls invisible coolant through the radiator, keeping your engine from burning up. This is an iPhone photo from Bonnie Springs Ranch about two years ago.
Fifteen Blades
This photo was taken at the now-dead Bonnie Springs Ranch. Grrr.
Hiking Photos
Here is another photo set taken inside the Spring Mountain Ranch State Park. There are always beautiful scenes to photograph here, the cute rabbit is to me a bonus photo! Who doesn’t love bunnies, right? They is sooo cute!
Forgotten Farm Equipment
These BW’s were snapped at Bonnie Springs Ranch two or more years ago. I wonder what stories these pieces could tell us…
Hiking The Desert Floor
These beauties were taken while hiking around the Spring Mountain Ranch State Park probably two years ago with my old Nikon D3300 body. The website says the park is closed which is zero surprise right? Two things that I seriously want to do when this situation passes is hop on a big jet plane and go home to Michigan and see my children and the family! And of course get my bum back out in the open desert for some fresh photography. I miss the freedom!
She’s A Beauty!
Some of you know I love birds so much, Mallards are among my top favorites! This sweet lady was photographed at Bonnie Springs two years ago with the old Nikon before it’s demise. It was a quacked decision by management to have sold the ranch in my view.
Continuous Violence
Good ol’ Bonnie Springs Ranch!
Air Compression
This image was taken at Bonnie Springs Ranch, 2018.
Bonnie Springs – Old Nevada Chapel
I wonder if the damn land developers tore down this lovely little chapel? Nothing is sacred to these losers.
The Itchy Burro
Or as I pronounce it, Burrah. This guy and others were grouped around the entrance sign for the now dead and gone Bonnie Springs Ranch. The last drive out that way the very large sign was still there. Why? You land developers suck!! But I don’t have an opinion… 😂😂
Old Machines
These old timers were at Bonnie Springs Ranch which is now gone with the desert winds. I have a few more photos of the place that I may upload. Thanks a lot, land developers…
The Peacock
This beautiful bird was photographed at Bonnie Springs Ranch which is no longer with us.
The Gunslinger
This handsome woody dude once resided at Bonnie Springs Ranch, I wonder where he is these days as the ranch was sold to some greedy ass developers a while back. Bullshit.
No Longer Combusting
Here is another image from the dead and gone Bonnie Springs Ranch. This old engine and several other abandoned items were in a small fenced area on the edge of the trails.
Just Pop It and Swallow
Got your attention did I? This is an older photo taken at the now dead and gone Bonnie Springs Ranch, just outside the restaurant. So dirty and naughty eh…. 😂
Peacock at Bonnie Springs Ranch
I wonder what happened to this bird after the place shut down…
The Old Time Nevadan
This old timer is mechanical and speaks. At least he did until Bonnie Springs Ranch was sold…
Encroachment
A few years back some rotten developers starting causing homes to pop up like pimples that were spreading toward the open desert as I call it. Specifically, toward beautiful Red Rock Canyon. Then, Bonnie Springs Ranch was sold, the large parcel will have guess what built on it – more pimples. This makes John a very unhappy camper seeing the beautiful Mojave Desert being turned under! Nothing is sacred today except profit… That profit came at too high a price.
A Lonely Road
Taken yesterday, this scene seems very lonely and forgotten. More so since Bonnie Springs is gone.
Bonnie Springs, Destroyed
If you are a Vegas local then you probably remember Bonnie Springs up until it’s recent demise being bought out by greedy developers. That’s another story but this was a unique place albeit in need of some upgrades. Today it’s gone. That makes me sad and I’m not even originally from Las Vegas. I have a strong dislike of land developers destroying places like this in the name of the almighty dollar. Others call this “progress”. Bullshit.
The Old Timer
This old timer is probably long gone now as Bonnie Springs Ranch is long gone. Bullshit. Wouldn’t it be so creepy if his eyes turned to look right at you?
Heading Home From The Desert
Today I took a two hour ride into the desert and around town, these photos are from the drive back home. I snapped 100 photos on this little trip, more to come. A short post on Bonnie Springs too which cranks me off!
Colours of Peacock
Bonnie Springs Cowboy
Here’s an old photo I snapped at the now dead Bonnie Springs Ranch. Dumbass developers! Isn’t he just so handsome? Not! Look at the sign to the right of the wooden man, signs like this were frequent in my opinion, all around the property. Don’t do this and don’t do that! Signs signs everywhere a sign…
Retired and Rusting
Here’s a rusting firetruck engine at Bonnie Springs Ranch last year. I will miss you, Bonnie Springs…
Bonnie Springs is Gone
I’ve posted about this somewhat recently, but seeing this sign near what was Bonnie Springs yesterday morning really drove it home for me. Why does this bother me? After all, I’m not even from Nevada or Las Vegas! What pisses me off is that homes are to be built out there and that’s just pure bullshit to me. Sure go ahead, add more human pressure on the delicate Mojave Desert environment. Damned developers!
