Another mine across the valley that I've never been to as there's no road to it. My fat ass isn't gonna hike up the hill to see it, either. So you'll have to settle for a long range shot...

Check out this old ore crusher. Looks like train wheels in a circular track - they dumped rocks into the track and the turning wheels crushed them. Power by a steam engine via a big assed pulley belt and a right angle drive...

A "ghost" town. No one lives there now and just a few buildings remain. It's on the outskirts of the town I live near. But most small towns in our area have unpaved roads; towns with only 20-23 residents.

I'm not Our county only has 3-4 paved roads in it as most of the roads are very rural. None of our roads are paved...thus the need for a Super Tenere. The winters are pretty brutal on paved surfaces here, so there aren't too many of them.

Building behind the man walking with 7 windows across the top and stables next door.....
