It's impossible says pride!
It's risky says experience!
It's hopeless says reason!
Let's try whispers the heart

C'est impossible dit la fierté !
C'est risqué dit l'expérience!
C'est sans issu dit la raison!
Essayons murmure le coeur

Kilns were built and used in the mid 19th century to make charcoal from the Pinyon Pine. The charcoal was then used to smelt the gold and silver from the ore. These are some of the best examples of kilns I have seen. They are protected within a remote Nevada State Park.
A beautiful fall day finds a late-running Pan Am train POED thundering west at Ward Hill (Haverhill), MA with a trio of SD40/45 variants. On the headpin is a string of Eimskip intermodals carrying Poland Spring water, a service that began last year with containers being loaded at Waterville and Portland for shipment to Ayer, typically tacked on to trains POED/POSE and their counterparts.
UP LWG55 is eastbound on the old Misery Pacific as it takes down the signals at MP 317.3 behind a pair of ex-SP/SSW GP60s. The leader, #1008, is a GP60E released from Jenks in January of 2020. It was rebuilt with an EM2000 computer system as well as electronic fuel injection.
The upstairs central corridor at Z Ward, flanked by the open doors of inmate bedroom cells. The ceiling was much higher than downstairs, with tall cathedral windows.
Z Ward was a separate building at the Glenside Mental Hospital that catered for the criminally insane. Built in 1885, it is now empty and preserved by the National Trust.
From my 2017 archives. The full length of the central corridor at Z Ward, flanked by the open doors of inmate bedroom cells. The ceiling is very high, as you can see from the tall cathedral windows.
This is where the criminally insane of Adelaide were locked back in 1885. The criteria for being an inmate was having committed a crime and posing a danger to others and/or themselves due to insanity.
I currently work at a non-profit organisation for the intellectually disabled. We have come a very long way since Z Ward. Today the National Disability Insurance Scheme promotes individual rights to freedom of expression, self-determination and decision-making, and actively prevents abuse, harm, neglect and violence.
Ovens located south of Ely, Nevada. Wheeler Peak in Great Basin National Park seen in the background.
This is a natural pond in the Ward Lake area. The heat from this summer has lowered the level of the water this year and the lily pads have really taken over. The pond is a short hike from the campground and we like to hike through the area every year. My dog, Violet, loves the area too. She gets to swim and cool down when we go by the ponds.
Our trip to Ward Lake this year was pretty adventurous. The fishing was amazing and the weather was hot. A bear decided to come in and eat all our food out of our ice chest and we had a severe thunderhead come through. Just a normal two weeks in the high Sierras.
A few years ago the Creek Fire came through the campground and burned the West side of the lake. This year when we hiked around the lake, we saw a lot of fireweed. My first experience seeing fireweed was in Alaska and I've never seen it before in this area. It really does bloom after the fire and brings back beauty to an area that has been decimated.
