When you are trying to think of something to do, one suggestion would be look online and see if there is any ghost towns near you. This summer one of my plans is to try to go to and shoot as many as I can, and share them with you. Today is the first one. This one is located about 45 min outside of Bozeman, MT called Maudlow. Unfortunately there is not a lot left of this town that was abandoned after the Milwaukee Railroad left in 1980. Even in the case of Maudlow that has been taken over privately and slowly dismantled you can still get some nice pictures, and these are what may one day be all that remains of this historic site. Another thing that you can do once you get these pictures is look and see if there are any historical sites where people share pictures that have been taken and share them. This way others will be able to share in the history and it may physically one day be gone but will still be available for people to view through images for generations to come.
Now here are some pictures that I have taken today of Maudlow. The first two are right next to the town but the rest are in what remains of the town.
Don't forget to grab your cameras, go out and take some pictures, and record history while you are at it.
