Adobe Barn

An old ranch, built in 1905, on the property of the Caterpillar's Tinaja Hills Training Center. The ranch was abandoned in the 1980's and sold to the US, who sold it to Caterpillar. As a historic building, it cannot be renovated. Used occasionally by illegal border crossers, the ranch sits mostly as it was, decaying slowly with the occasional bit of garbage left on site. The construction is mud adobe, made by hand.
