Walk along some wagon road, down the iron rail, Past the rusty Cadillacs that mark the Boomtown Trail Where Dreamers never win and Doers never fail. It's sad, but the tellin' takes me home. I'll tell you all some lies, just made up for fun. And the loudest meanest brag, it can be the fastest gun. I'll show you all some graves that tell where the West was won. It's sad, but the tellin' takes me home. I'll sing about an emptiness the East has never known. Where coyotes don't pay taxes, and a man can live alone. And you've gotta walk forever, just to find a telephone. It's sad, but the tellin' takes me home... It takes me home. from a song by Ed Trichett The photographs on these pages were taken between 1976 and 1992. Some of the old cars have been removed. The others still remain. The BLM is currently planning a cultural resource of die old prospecting areas of Grand County; if you think the old cars and die mining history of Grand County should be preserved, contact the BLM. |
