Eaton Ghost Town #3

Yes I know it has been almost two months since I have put up a new post. So in case anyone has been waiting out there with baited breath for me to put up my newest one, I am sorry. But I am going to try to start trying to be more consistent again.

So After my adventures at Last Chance and Dearfeild I was craving more. I just couldn't get enough. Every thing about these abandoned towns and buildings was enticing and to some extent addicting. So during the next week all I could do was think about the weekend so I could leave my house and head out to another town. As the weekend got closer I began to get things ready so I could leave as early as I could on saturday morning. I was also very determined that I was not going to be as inadequately prepared as I had been the first time. So I put together a "ghost town kit" which consists mostly of flash lights and head lamps, but I also decided that I should put together a decent med kit just incase.

But in all this anticipation I forgot to actually research the location that I was going to. That is how I ended up in Nunn....

Now how Nunn ended up on this list I will never know. But Nunn is NOT a ghost town, not even a partial ghost town. After driving up and down all three streets of Nunn multiple times I finally found a, one single, abandoned home. So of course I immediately jumped out of my car and took photos of it (what else do you expect after driving for about 3 hours).

ya this is pretty much what every house in Nunn looks like

But despite the fact that there was only one house worth looking at I actually ended up being very happy with some of the photos.

such as this one

But alas there are only so many photos you can take of one building so I quickly became bored and wanted something more exciting. Remembering back to my map I eventually remembered another town on my list in the nearby area: Purcell. This is Purcell. In case you can't tell it is a farm that looks like this:

This is NOT my image, but that you Rocky Mountain Profiles

Thats it. That is the town of Purcell. There is nothing more. That is it. So obviously I didn't even bother getting out of my car for this one, because well there was no need. At this point I was getting disheartened that these towns and buildings were not as exciting as my mind had promised me that they would be. So at this point I decided that it was not my day and that I should head just head on home. On my way I passed through the town of Eaton and I decided that I was going to get my self some lunch. As I sat there eating I looked up and noticed:

And I thought; "Wow I wish that was abandoned and I could explore it". As I sat there eating and looking at I noticed small clues

Small clues like all the window were broken....

That this building actually was abandoned. So I quickly ran over there and began taking photos of what was at one point the Eaton Grain Elevator and its subsequent weight station.
