Engineer Pass Trip (Cont'd)

Only the two buildings in the background remain! There are a couple of homesteads nearby but what used to be the finest 'mansion' in Southern Colorado used to be here, but had long ago fallen into ruin and was finally razed back in the 60's.
But by looking at these photoes from this site, it's easy to see what the attraction was to the area. But this was a half hour up the valley from Lake City by jeep on an 'OK' dirt road. How they found this area to begin with is amazing.
