OPRINDELIG EN STOR RANCH BYGGET AF JAMES FLINN I CORTE MADERA-DALEN I 1871. STEDET UDVIKLEDE SIG TIL EN LANDSBY, DA JERNBANEN KOM I 1880'ERNE, OG JAMES FLINN'S RANCH ER NU BLEVET UDSTYKKET. |
ORIGINALLY A LARGE RANCH HOMESTEADED BY JAMES FLINN IN THE CORTE MADERA VALLEY IN 1871. THE SITE BECAME A VILLAGE, WHEN THE RAILROAD ARRIVED IN THE 1880'S, AND THE JAMES FLINN RANCH HAS SINCE BEEN SUBDIVIDED FOR DEVELOPMENT. |

DENNE GAMLE GULDGRAVERBY HAVDE CIRCA 3000 INDBYGGERE OMKRING 1880. NU ER DET EN SPØGELSESBY. THIS OLD GOLDMINING TOWN HAD ABOUT 3000 INHABITANTS AROUND 1880. NOW IT'S A GHOSTTOWN.

DER HAR VÆRET UDGRAVNING HELE VEJEN RUNDT OM GRAVPLADSEN, SÅ DEN NU SIDDER ISOLERET PÅ ET LILLE PLATEAU.
EXCAVATION HAS EXTENDED ALL AROUND THE CEMETERY, SO IT IS NOW ISOLATED ON A TINY MESA.
ET MEGET AFSIDES OMRÅDE, DER ER IKKE ER MEGET ANDET AT SIGE OM, END DET ER UTROLIG SMUKT.
A VERY ISOLATED AREA, WHICH THERE'S LITTLE TO SAY ABOUT, OTHER THAN IT IS INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL.

DER ER TILSYNELADENDE INGEN DER VED, HVAD DETTE ER, HVORFOR DET ER PÅ OFFENTLIG GRUND MIDT I ØRKENEN, ELLER HVEM DER PASSER DET, MEN DET HAR LIGGET HER I OVER 40 ÅR.
NOBODY APPEARS TO KNOW WHAT THIS IS, WHY IT IS ON PUBLIC LAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT, OR WHO TAKES CARE OF IT, BUT IT'S BEEN HERE FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS.
ET OMRÅDE MED MILEVIS AF KLITTER OG HVIDT SAND .
AN AREA WITH MILES OF DUNES AND WHITE SAND.
DEN GAMLE PLANKEVEJ, BRUGT I 1920'ERNE SÅ BILER KUNNE BANE SIG VEJ GENNEM ALT SANDET.
