Bayhorse Ghost Town, ID

Off hwy. 75 in Idaho, in a sparsely sprinkled area of wood cabins sits the ghost town of Bayhorse.  This town popped up in the 1880's as a profitable mining town.  After many unfortunate incidences including a large fire, rich silver veins growing sparse and several severe winters the town withered away almost as quickly as it was built.  Left behind is a relic of the very hard and simple lives of miners and their families in the 18 & 1900's. This remote and snowy land tucked into a small valley between rocky ridges offered me great contrast to my life.
