Ghosts of Southern Colorado

I miss home.

I miss the little ghost towns - CF&I company towns, fragments of Colorado's industrial past - that dot the south and central regions. I'd like to do a whole post about this at some point - with my usual degrowth and anti-capitalist slant, and focused on Ludlow - but right now I just feel tired and homesick. With that in mind, here's some photos of places I love. Note that these are fairly large files.

Foundations of homes at Tioga. The tailings dump to the right, which my notes refer to as the Luna Mine due to its dark color, is likely the Big Four mine. Another mine, directly adjacent to the north, is referred to as the Celestia Mine in my notes but is probably the Kebler Mine.

Also Tioga. Something about this is both lonely and makes me desperately homesick.

Rito Oso at sunset. This little hamlet has been uninhabited, except for a brief window of use as a commune, for most of the last century.
