Of the Old Stone Building, showing how local timbers were used for lintels. Maybe this style of construction could help pin down the date it was built, for an expert in such things! San Juan Creek, Toiyabe Range, Nevada.

Old Stone Building, at the confluence of San Juan Creek and an unnamed side drainage, Toiyabe Range, Nevada. The ruin isn't even marked on the USGS 7.5' topo map. I suspect it's mining related--there are some old mines and prospects a bit farther up San Juan Creek, now considered part of the Washington District, but there was also some pre-1848 activitiy (i.e., Mexican or Spanish), and this may date from then.

Off the Antelope Valley road, central Nevada, USA. The gray-green shrub is sagebrush; the lighter shrub with small yellow blossoms, to the left, is rabbitbrush.

Park City area, Toiyabe Range, Nevada, USA. Now described as part of the Twin River district. A bit of a fixer-upper at this point!

Como was the first county seat of Lyon County. Current population: 0. A wildfire swept thru here a few years back; hence the burned trees.
