Earache Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Sunday and the roads were crowded with people from the city up in the mountains for the day. So I stayed in my own area and rode some dirt - roads are too rough for cars, so not many people. Stone ruins at the Caribou Mine.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 I'm not sure how old these are, but they were reinforced with concrete in the not too distant past. There's also mortar in there, so not too old.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 Would be cool to refurbish it into a home as the scenery is great from up here (around 10,000'). A few of the walls are beginning to crumble anbd fall though.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, the gold mines are all around it and it was the gold miner's kids that went to the school. But once the miners left, the kids left as well. School closed and fell into disrepair. The current school (we have only one school in the entire county and it serves Kindergarten through 12th grade) only graduates about 15 students per year. Hardly worth keeping it open for so few students. It'll probably look like this school in another 100 years <gg>. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
