Rainbow Canyon NV 1267a

Abandoned farmhouses south of Elgin, Nevada. These are in the southern, and drier, parts of Rainbow Canyon (see adjacent pictures). I always find it intriguing to visit these sites where the various ruins and remaining debris suggest that, at some time in the past, these had been active, thriving, homesteads. The isolation, particularly at the time that these were built, is always an interesting reminder that the priorities of daily life must have been very different in those times. (I suspect these were last occupied in the 1950's or earlier.)
