Abandoned

Abandoned 


Along the way on many of our adventures we find things and places that are abandoned.  Abandoned cars, house, buildings, whole towns and peoples  
things.  They all have a story.  Sometimes we don't know what those stories are, but it's fun to look into the surrounding history and try to figure it out.
A lot of broken glasses, bottles, china dishes and other pieces of glass that have been abandoned as people moved from a dying town to a new home.

An abandoned school bus, filled with miscellaneous things that were once someone's dreams.

An old rusted out car that was found by the side of the railroad tracks. Hidden car that was used in a robbery?  Stolen car that quit running so it was time to ditch it and find something new?  Or perhaps a car that lived out it's life happily in the country until finally finding a nice resting place. 

An abandoned trestle.  A once very important piece of the transcontinental railroad, this abandoned section has not been in use for decades.  

A truck, left for years along side an old dirt road. 

A couple of very old houses abandoned a hundred years or more ago,

Kelton, this entire town was abandoned.


Time has taken it's toll on this abandoned house.  A another winter and it probably won't be there anymore.
