The Unearthly Journey

Throughout the 17 and 1800s, in the primitive region known as the New Mexico Territories, there were several small towns that were, at one time, oasis' in the desert for the courageous settlers who tamed that rough and desolated land. Somehow one of these settlements, which was located on the route between Mexico City and Santa Fe, mysteriously disappeared. The inhabitants were never found. Over the years the drifting desert sand covered the area where the town so proudly stood. Padres from Mexico City who made the long journey to establish small missions in and around the area known as Santa Fe often camped near this town. There have been many strange stories that have been passed down, orally, from generation to generation about the padres and their harsh and rough excursions through the wasteland of what is now New Medico, and the strange disappearance of the town. Due to the sparse population of uneducated Indians, Mexicans, and the daring settlers that inhabited the area there were very few written record. Only one such transcript has been uncovered. The record was written in the form of a journal and was recently located in Mexico City. It tells of a strange story which happened to one of the Padres who made the trip from Mexico City to Santa Fe, and what could have happened to this town that was called 'Lewsor'.
