Surveyor's Wagon671 viewsFur trapping gave way to mining and other activities in the mid-1800s. This wagon appears to be a vehicle for a surveying expedition. Unfortunately, the surveyor apparently got lost and perished of hunger, thirst and exposure in the desert, or maybe was scalped by Indians, because he is nowhere to be seen.

Balcony670 viewsThe north wing of Sarah and Mike's house. I really like the balcony, which provides a second-floor exit as well as a sun deck, and overhangs the first floor so as to provide cover for a person exiting on the first floor.
