The first photo is an old sheep camp, although it looks like it is now used for cattle. The second has something to do with mining, but I am not sure what. The third is an old trestle taken from the new trestle.

#2 might have to do with mine-head initial comminution of the ore, done wet, with washing to first-order gangue separation.

Very nice. I really like #2.

Good stuff, Rat.

S'pose I'm partial to the sheep camp shot, though, having stayed in one for a week while on a work detail in (the Horseshoe Canyon section of) the Maze. Still see these things here and there around here.

Thanks Jim. I haven't stayed in one since I was in my teens. (Had to watch out for the dinosaurs).

Yeah. They are --generally-- 'bitey' sorts of critters. (The dinosaurs, I mean, not the sheep camps.)

I think I would about as soon dealwith the dinos as with the sheep I was tending.

Uh, not to get all ribald or anything, but somehow I don't think theropod feets would fit very comfortably into calf-high shepherd's boots. Sheepses is (reportedly) less tricky. That's what I've been told, that is. Its not as if I personally know.

Ran into a Basque shepherd at a sheep camp (who lived that winter in a rig exactly like the one you posted) at the base of the Books some years back, at a point I didn't know to ask. If I'd have asked at all. Subsequently, the concept of 'inflatable sheep' has come up once or twice in conversation. But never with a Basque shepherd; only with an East Coast tinhorn. But I digress....

The quality of your B&Ws is pretty nifty.
