May 6,2005
Gooddale Creek Camp
Aberdeen, California

Arrived a bit before dark. Felt like the dudes in the covered wagons pulling up to the foot of the mountains and saying whoa, how we gonna get over this one? So camped beside a small trout creek and took stock of the situation.
Got the broken window fix this morning in Fallon, Nevada and headed south down Route 6 . Made a few good images of old building and pulled through some great old towns.
Made a stop at Janie’s Ranch just before the California boarder. Sign on the post said “Closed…Beat It.” We pulled in to 7 old deserted trailers hook up side to side to make one big building. It was quite a romantic setting out in the middle of nowhere just under the shadow of Boundary Peak. The highest point in Nevada. Well inside were rows of smallish bedrooms and one large reception room. Janie was ranching the oldest trade so we beat it and split.
