I really like this picture. It's not the best og qualities or focus or the likes, but I think that added wit the sepia effect gives it such an old feeling.

We took another detour back into the Little Rockies to visit the mining town of Landusky for the very first time! I was not disappointed, it was amazing! It was like stepping back in time. There were old mining cabins galore and beautiful treasures and people leading a slow-paced way of life.
"Powell Landusky, a teenager from Missouri, came to Last Chance Gulch during the late 1870s and eked out an existence panning for gold. In 1880, Landusky, in a fight with some Souix Indians, took a bullet in the jaw, which disfigured him for life. In 1893, Landusky and a partner were prospecting along a ridge when they discovered a vein of rich ore thirteen feet wide that would yield them $13,000 a ton and the stampede was on. The mining camp was known as Sandusky and on June 9, 1894, it officially became the town of Sandusky. Christmas was always a time for celebration for mining activity was at a minimum due to heavy snowfall. It was to be Powell Landusky's last Chtristmas. On the morning of December 26, 1894, Powell Landusky walked into a saloon and ordered a drink for it was bitter cold that morning. Kid Curry, with whom Landusky had been feuding, came into the saloon and a fight between two ensued. Landusky was shot and killed by Kid Curry who later was to join up with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Enough old structures remain to imagine what Landusky was like in its violent days." -ghosttowns.com
The area is still polluted by the mining that finished over 100 years ago. The are is ricjh in minerals and if Redruth and Camborne did not exist, it would be the largest open cast mining in the world
Just outside of Norway is a small town that is still mining for Iron Ore and we took a tour of the historical areas of the mine and I spotted these logs off the the side of one of the passages.

Round Mountain mining area.
An unusual site in rural Nevada -- what looks a heavy smog bank in the distance. On closer inspection you can tell that it is a cloud of dust hanging over the Round Mountain mining area. This picture was taken from 10 miles south of the mine.
