Description

While traveling up Echo Canyon in Death Valley, my friend and I met up with two couples who were looking for a ghost town called Shwab Mines. Even though we'd been up the road before, we'd never been far enough to see it. This time we did and were glad to come across an old mining community long gone. We spent several hours here and I took quite a few pictures, so I will try to disperse them equally with other pictures, so you won't get too bored!!! LOL :P Thanks for all the wonderful comments, they are greatly appreciated!!!!!

Aw, what a lovely fix-me-upper. Beautiful texture to that shack (thats how we swedes spell "chess" by the way...yeah, like anyone cares...sigh). Almost looks like it got a swift treatment of that good ol burn-tool. Excellent compo K. #:O)
