Bonanza Ruins
Of course, the first time I viewed these pictures I had no idea what had been here originally. It was only later, as I conducted my extensive photographic research of this project that I realized that half of the camp was gone--without explanation. What had happened to the big barrack? Had a snow slide come along and taken it out for one glorious ride down the very steep hill? Nothing in the archives gave me a clue. It was only much later in one of my interviews that I found out the story behind the disappearance of the huge barrack and other buildings that once existed on the right side of this photo.
