Ghost Town of Parsons

This town was a mining community in the Sacramento Mountains. Until the 1980's, the old hotel was still standing, but the taggers/firebugs got there and destroyed it. Still a bunch left to see if you have a serious 4 wheel drive or the intention of walking about 15 miles. Remains are spread out along about 3 miles of what is left of a road, and one major structure still has an owner, and he isn't friendly!

I have changed my personal exploring ethics code. From now on it will be: "Take only aimed shots, leave only hobo corpses." Copper scrappers, meth heads and homeless beware. The Jonsered cometh among you, bringing fear and dread.
