A travel story by Kip Gerenda


Description

On a lonely stretch of the 395, a small group of old mining settlements stand. Wind blown, decrepit, and empty; these remnants of a more profitable time stand vacant, waiting for an explorers curiosity.

Just outside the run down hub of Red Mountain, the abandoned ghost town of Atolia exits. Primairly a Tungsten mine, started in 1905, its been tattered and run down for years. Here are the photos.
