Shoshone

We drove into Shoshone and came across this lot with all sorts of art.

                        Then on the other side of the road I saw these cliffs.

Come to find out they are called “Dublin Caves”. They were used to house miners and vagabonds in the early 1900 through the 1960's. Some had chimneys. I could see into them and they weren't very big. It is said that some famous people stayed there: Death Valley Scotty, Shorty Harris and the Ashford brothers.

                                                                                                                                                                    

There were still some bedsprings inside the caves. I'm sure if it wasn't for the doors to the entrances you'd find more vandalism or squatters.

There was also a graveyard with many old grave sites.

But, to my surprise, the graveyard was still being used!

Notice there is only a day of birth for Carol Lee

One site stated: “Senator Charles Brown”, 1883 to 1963.
