I've always enjoyed finding structures along the way, and we will go out of our way to see all buildings. I am looking forward to taking this trail. It is nice to see that various organizarions are trying to maintain some of these sites. Glad that Suzanne is back with the gang. Good she has such great friends:)John and Pam (ohtheplacestheygo.wordpress.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10853924678665624403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-15223963160564653212015-08-15T05:41:11.581-07:002015-08-15T05:41:11.581-07:00Those are some impressive mining remains!

Too bad someone didn't fall down that hole. LOL But that Red River is really something. I'd love to see it in person. Your pictures are terrific.

Old mines have some of the best of these and usually the great scenery to go with it.
