The silhouette of the Red Ghost camel atop Hi Jolly’s monument has not been returned. The sil- houette can be replaced but to the person or persons that vandalized and stole him, the story will not end. The Red Ghost will ride your mind like his legend. To think up and do this kind of deliberate destruc- tion, you will have to answer to a higher power than all of us and possibly pass by the Red Ghost to get there. The story of the Red Ghost as a legend circulated for many, many, years – part truth, part fiction.

Sort of fits for Quartzsite, don’t you think? That camel silhouette was not copper nor was it brass. It was steel. The vandalism was not done for money.
