lost horse mine
in hiking, histories, photography
lost horse mine operated from 1894 to 1931 & produced more than 25,000 ounces of silver & gold in that time.
lost horse mine is one of the best preserved mines in the west & is easily accessible by the lost horse loop hiking trail. because the mine shaft remains open, the area has been fenced off to prevent visitor injury.
discovered by cowboy johnny lang while he was searching for a lost horse, lang would stay nearby for most of his life & was eventually buried close to what is now keys view road.

type
my mission to find a manual typewriter has succeeded. I recently found myself a very dusty brother charger 11 typewriter & brought it home to fix up. it needed some cleaning & finagling plus a new ribbon but now she works! analog processes are more & more appealing to me with the ongoing slopification of the digital world. I’m excited to play with baby blue more.
