Cirsium arvense . Turns out the common name is a canard. It's in fact an Old World invader weed, which is now well established thruout much of North America. You often find it along trails--why trail horses are supposed to have "weed-free" hay! The seeds are commonly introduced in horse droppings. Toiyabe Range, Nevada, USA.

The mining camp on Washington Creek in the Toiyabe Range, Nevada, that is! It was active intermittently from the 1860s into the early 20th century, with exploration continuing to the present. There is also evidence that Mexicans or Spanish worked the area beforehand. The ores were low-grade silver-lead deposits.
