There was never really much at Cappon. Now there is even less. This spot is kind of remote and there is a fair amount of gravel road to get there. Cappon has no direct route to it either. I tried to get here a year ago and it has been on my list for some time. This place is not on a road map. I had a backroads atlas and I missed it on my first attempt because I could not find it. Google Maps was useless. It is marked on Google Maps however there is no cell phone coverage here. This time I had a map of just this area with it marked and I managed to find it.

ReplyDeleteReally cool BW! Glad you found it.
ReplyDeleteNice find! No cemetery?
ReplyDeleteI like how they have at least put permanent (and attractive) markers where the old buildings stood. That's important. It helps preserve the past.
