Before and after Google Earth images show the Cinco, CA site of many images featured in the 'If You Lived Here You'd Be Home By Now' series. The trailers and other structures were torn down in late 2011.

The 1240-acre property off Highway 14 north of Mojave, CA was bought by Beacon Solar, LLC to install a 250-megawatt concentrated solar electric generating facility. Here is a LINK to a fact sheet about the project.
