Cordova Mines Vansickle House 7 by jerm IX, on Flickr
Here we go again...heading back down a familiar road.
Much like prospectors and mining companies continued to return to the Cordova Mines and take another run at extracting gold, we too return in waves, in search of more long forgotten abandonments.
With all six of the easy to spot, roadside abandoned houses on Vansickle Road already explored and documented, we have begun the more extensive leg of the journey: The search and enjoy method. Countless rusted gates adorn the roadside, and the forest has reclaimed it's rightful ownership of the spaces beyond the gates. We cannot help but wonder, what, if anything, is hiding in the forest beyond those gates? The only way to answer this question is on foot, pushing through the forest like the early settlers.
After a few failures, or rather long walks to nothing, in the middle of nowhere, one of these treks into the dense woods paid off, and we came across the Cordova Mines Vansickle House 7.
Once again, down this old road, we struck gold...
