Hiking Ruins
Sometimes when hiking I see ruins - Loud's Cabin is one of the best examples of this, and one I've posted on in the past. Here's another example from last weekend, hiking just west of Monument, where there's nothing left but a foundation.
These stairs probably led into the cabin at some point.
Somebody had more recently walled up this section, and it was filled with trash.
There was a much more interesting ruin later in the hike, but I'm saving that for a future post. And that's my entry for My World Tuesday.

This is so interesting. It makes you wonder who lived there, when, how. I often stand in ruins around my village, both ancient and modern (1948), and wonder about the people who built the houses.
ReplyDeleteAlmost feel like an archeologist seeing these photos! Love the color of bricks in your last photo!
ReplyDeleteMarvelous captures, Al, as always! Such fascinating ruins and they do make you wonder what their story is/was! Love the bricks and the color! Fascinating! Hope your week is off to a great start!

ReplyDeletesuch fine stonework.
ReplyDeletePity to waste it.
the stones have a beautiful colour to them.
ReplyDeleteit is dastardly how trash finds its way even in the remotest locations.
So much work! I hope someone enjoyed it when it was in good shape. Ruins like these are such mysteries!
ReplyDeletethe stones are colorful. looks like my kind of house.
ReplyDeleteGreat post and photos. It is interesting to see foundations or ruins while you are out hiking. I'm sure they have a story to tell.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular stone work and such an interesting location. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteI always think it's so interesting (and intriguing) to come upon ruins of any kind. They get my imagination working. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove looking at old ruins!! Boom & gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteRuins. Are sometimes more interesting than the actual building. I ofyen wonder about the people w ho used to live there , how were their lives, w hat happened there?

i enjoy seeing ruins so this would definitely appeal to me. great photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting post. You wonder how it was originally.
ReplyDeleteI am always fascinated with ruins ... ancient or modern ... it doesn't matter. There's something so mysterious, so tragic there ... and you caught that feeling really well in these photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat work, Al.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.
Very interesting!! Here are a lot of comments all in one from me, I hope that's ok.. shall try to be short.. hehe
ReplyDeleteI tried to find Loud's cabin today. No such luck I followed the seven bridges trail and kept going. I hit trail 622 and stayed left the whole time. I met a lone hermit father up where it became steep going up and gravel hill much like the photograph you had. He told me I had to keep climbing about ten feet to hit Jone's Park and that I was going the opposite way of Loud's cabin. Where he pointed up was a trail symbol of rocks stacked together on a cliff. Still going left was a trail I followed again marked 622
ReplyDeleteSo confused.
