In fact as I was shooting the ghost town, which is high up in the hills of Montana some yahoo lets loose with a high powered rifle over my head at a bull elk. This was not during hunting season. I took this as an invitation to leave quickly which I did. > Greg, have you tried cropping-out the road/track and coming tighter > in on the right.

(I've got to find all the negatives.) It looks to me like this old jalopy was leaving town, died on the roadway and was pushed into the bushes. Most likely this occured in the 1930's or 40's. The local mine ran out of ore in the late 19th century. Regards, Greg
