Stone Walls + Iron Door - California Gold Country

AbandonedGold RushCaliforniaHwy 49Road Trip
Written By Elliot Koeppel

The stone ruins of a gold rush era building, complete with protective iron doors, which helped provide safety against fire and theft. This building was most likely used as storage for one of the nearby businesses. Remarkably well preserved, except for the missing roof. There are several other historic buildings in this small town, nicely restored and some still in use, a bit off the beaten path. Awesome name for the place as well, Copperopolis. Hmm, wonder what they found here besides gold?

It's tough to read, but it's creepy as heck, so maybe that's a good thing. Out on an old dam out in Joshua Tree National Park is this strange poem about Little William. https://youtu.be/Vs8MsLQy4jY . . . . #joshuatreenationalpark #jtnp #roadtrip #nat

Spent a couple hours wandering about the Anaconda Gold Mine out at Joshua Tree National Park. Shrunk it down into a ten-minute YouTube video 😎 https://youtu.be/JqXHvQlNK2k . . . . #joshuatreenationalpark #jtnp #exploratography #goldmine #anacondagol
