An abandoned homestead in the Smoke Creek Desert.

One the joys about exploring out in the desert, is you just never know what you might find. Of course, it is always interesting to see the construction style of abandoned homesteads. In addition, it is always evolving, so you never know what you might see. An expedition out by Stacy earlier this year, we saw a new two-story log home under construction. It really looks out of place among the sagebrush. Nearby, we missed the following “homestead.”
