Badger

Km 1184
Road 203

The rm of piney sure is piney.




Cautionary anti gang legislation:




Badger. One can only imagine the hilarious nocturnal misfortunes that must have befallen some bivouacked general so as to have so inspired Badger's name... . Ouchies in the pants!

The first old thing I saw:

no surprises there'd be a caboose here. Sweet chimney stack!




And then finally, in Badger, I got a real sweet clue about how old these towns are:








The general store was right on the railroad tracks, facing them, greeting disembarkers eager for the riches of Badger. I take this to mean that the actual settlement was here somewhat earlier. No reasonable person builds a general store on speculation. Or maybe they do? What the hell do I know!?
