Melmont

Melmont was one of a series of mining and logging settlements along the Carbonado River (incl. Carbanado, Fairfax, Manley Moore) . Not much left other than a couple of walls, the dynamite shed and the cleared area of the actual townsite. Being a company town, when the place was shut down, everything of value was removed.

The townsite itself.

















The remains of the bridge that crossed the Carbanado here.






















A HUGE coil of cable at the edge of town. I imagine it was left and the spool disintegrated long ago.






















A wall on the main trail that leads to the townsite. Looks a bit too substantial for a retaining wall only.






















Finally, the "Dynamite Shed" as its commonly called. There is unfortunately a looter's pit undermining part of the foundation.
