The State Park is home to a few abandoned movie sets. The most popular one is the Contrabando Movie Set.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Another, and less visited, movie set is the Crowtown Movie Set. One of the State Park volunteers pointed it out to me about two years ago. He gave me a general location within the park. It took some searching but we found it nestled among some amazing rock formations. I returned to this location in the Spring of 2018 and took this photograph with the Milky Way in the background. I have yet to find any details about this movie set.&nbsp; I will keep searching&#8230;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14791\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14791\" style=\"width: 1125px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/20180418-old-movie-set-mw-14-edit.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"14791\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2019\/03\/crowtown-movie-set\/crowtown-movie-set-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/20180418-old-movie-set-mw-14-edit.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1125,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
