Ghost Towns:


 Colorado has several ghost towns and it is always an interesting time to visit them. I have visited three and the above photo is from Bonanza, Colorado. All three were old mining towns that the pay dirt played out and people left for new places. This is an abandon residence in Bonanza that once was a thriving town. We visited the old cemetery that had very old head stones with some made from wood that has weathered over the years and couldn't be read. 

Some towns like Bonanza are being repopulated again and people are fixing up the homes to use as summer residence. Colorado is an interesting place to visit. When we first moved here and was exploring around our home we found the remains of two small cabins that we concluded was either a line cabin or prospecting cabin. Unfortunately the Spring wildfire destroyed any of the remains of the cabins. Yes, Colorado is an interesting place.
