Determined to find an old abandoned truck, that we had been told about, along a 4 wheel drive road, we continued on past Animas Forks.
We had been told that the old truck was just beside the road about a quarter of a mile past Animas Forks. Yet we drove much farther than a quarter of a mile, passing the old mill we had been told about, too.
At some point past the old, abandoned mill, we decided that we had either missed the truck or that it was much farther along the roadway than we had been told. We turned back and stopped to photograph the old mill. As I was getting my camera out, the retired photographer, who had told us about the truck, drove up and informed me that he had been mistaken about the abandoned truck being right next to the road. Instead, it was up on a hill at the end of a short spur road. He even pointed to the truck that was barely visible in the distance.
I shot a few photos of the old mill, before back tracking to the old truck.
Next abandoned truck,

Nice shots Ken! I am familiar with this structure and the truck. The truck is easy to miss especially if coming from Animas Forks.
The retired photographer that told me about the old truck had a magazine with a photo of that truck on the cover. The photo was a night shot with the Milky Way over it. So I’m guessing that truck has some fame in the local area. I’ve been on numerous 4 wheel drive roads in this area, but never saw that truck previously. I have seen many mine ruins and other ghost towns in these mountains. There is fabulous scenery all over that part of Colorado.
