Morning Glory Flower
in Centralia PA

We had heard of Centralia and had checked out the website many times. Back in August of 2007 we took our family to the Knoebels. On the way back we stopped in Centralia to see if it was real. We were amazed that it truly was a ghost town. We touched the ground and found it to be hot. I was taking pictures and saw this one morning glory blooming amongst all the vapors. It is amazing that grass, trees and this one flower are still growing among the vapors. Jennifer Hartley
