Random.....Old Mining Town Pics....!

Random.....Old Mining Town Pics....!


I am fascinated by the old mining towns, etc.

The Men who worked them were a hearty breed, indeed!

How did they decide to build there and search>?!!!

How could they dig..........day after day>?!

Post up your pics....... of Random Mining Towns, areas and artifacts.

Let's log in pics while these historic sites are still here......for future generations to see!

You DO NOT have to give exact directions if you do not wish to.........But the cool thing is.......you can keep taking pics and keep going there year after year, and post your updated pics here!


Rhyolite, Nevada



Pioneer, Nevada




Corona Mine.......Panamint Mtns.



Clair Camp......Panamint Mtns.



Mogollon, New Mexico....




I've got more.....but now it's your turn! And how about you guys in Australia! Africa....Canada!......etc!........I know you have some! I'm hoping this outback photo thread will help encourage more YotaTech dudes to get out and explore.

Thanks guys!

You can do this too! Just start searching your area on the net for historic sites. It's a lot more fun to get out into the Outback when you have a historic destination.

Looking out the Boss's Digs window at Animas Forks, Colorado.




(these are my personal pics)
