Como and Mount Sherman

Been a while since I last posted, but that is not to say we have not been Ghost Town and Cemetery hunting!

One new site on Mt. Sherman, can't tell for sure, but it might be the Dauntless Mine. It is a very easy hike up from the gate at the end of the road. I was very intrigued by the site - the mine is obviously gated and locked, but looks as though there is some activity up there recently. Lots of artifacts, some looking a bit newer than others - the mine was likely first there in the late 1800s, yet there is an old car and truck - don't think that was original...

August 21, 2010 was the Boreas Pass Railroad Days and not only was there excellent information and slide show (yes, an slide show with film slides and not just a Powerpoint) about the railroad, but the Roundhouse was open for tours. Not a whole lot to say about this, it was just some great pictures and discussions.
