I took this photo a few years ago with my Canon AE1 SLR at the ghost town of Bannack, Mt. These wagons were used in 1856 for hauling anything from trees to build homes to anything having to do with the Great Gold Rush of that time. I used the Sepia to bring out the age of this wagon. As I walked thru this little ghost town, there were many reminders like this wagon, all around, wheelbarrows that used to carry gold, miners tools, and the old dredgers are there, along with the big dredging building. Go for a visit!!
