10Turkeys Report post Posted July 12, 2019 It's on a dirt road that goes East and West with a lot of curves. Starts out paved on both sides. The foundation that is pictured is on the North side of the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10Turkeys Report post Posted July 12, 2019 This is in a unit that normally has left over tags, but this past draw there were none, a few people were surprised on another post. I had passed this spot many times and never realized it was there, until my buddy who recently passed away at 93, told me that he came to this spot in the 1930's to bring his father something to eat, he was on foot, and where he was at he would have to walk west to get to this spot.

10Turkeys Report post Posted July 12, 2019 The Building on this foundation didn't make it, but if you take this dirt road a little to the east, on the south side there are a few buildings that are still standing. I think the last time I was there the population was 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10Turkeys Report post Posted July 12, 2019 That foundation is what's left of the Ruby Jail. It's a little west of the town. My buddy's Dad used to hit the sauce then have to sleep it off in the can, then he would take him something to eat. I guess the mine at Ruby had it's heyday in the 1920's and 30's. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone has some sort of a demon that they have to face, weather it be booze, drugs, gambling, so on and so on. Sometimes we can keep the demon at bay and sometimes it gets us and won't let go. One time I ask my friend what happened to his dad, and he said that one time he took off, and never came back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
