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?

The Summit Inn. One of my favorite places to stop to eat when my family would visit Miriam out in Apple Valley on her ranch. Loved the little devil machine fortune telling, card thingee on each table. . . . . #route66 #california #gone #SummitInn
Gold Hill Bank. Very faded letters on front between the left and center doors reads "Post Office." . . . . #goldhill #nevada #ghosttown #roadtrip
