No tour of Leadville is complete without going to the Matchless Mine to see Baby Doe’s cabin where she lived out the last 30 years of her life in isolation.
I took this photo for Brent so he could laugh at the electrical system architecture.
Old powder magazine for when the Matchless Mine actually did some mining.
Greg in front of Baby Doe’s cabin.
Looking down to the mine headstock.
Tailing runout from where they dumped overburden and punk rock.
The chimney of the old assayer’s office.
The headstock on one of the mine shafts.
Down below there is standing water in the shaft.
Old bricks on display.
The main winch.
Out in front of Baby Doe’s cabin.
