#52 – The World’s Most Beautiful Junkyard

As soon as I saw this place, I immediately stomped on the brake petal. I knew I HAD to have a picture of it. It has remained on my wall since that April day in 2015. When I read my first book about the “Mountain Men” as a teenager, I have always dreamed that in a previous life I was a mountain man. When I say the movie “Jeremiah Johnson” in 1972, that thought was permanently welded into my mind.

As the picture says, it was taken near LaFruto in southern Colorado. Like so many other times, the only regret I have was that I didn’t take a closer look.
