Gone

Not many things seem quite as forlorn as the remains of a house. This is a stark example of a "lost" home on the Lower Crab Creek Road near Beverly. There was a bit of detritus lying on the ground - a woman's shoe, tin cans, glass, rusty bits of things. Close to this was another foundation but it didn't have as much "structure" as this one did - just a few pieces of cement in a low-lying grid pattern. I don't know what the history of habitation on this road was - no one lives there now as far as I can tell.

Gone
At one point along the road I saw a "ghost house" in the distance, but it was too far away to photograph well. I did find the remains of a bridge but couldn't tell what lay on the other side through the brush.
Bridge remains, Lower Crab Creek Road
There are some farmed fields, birds and plenty of hunters on a November Saturday morning, but it's predominantly an empty, beautiful place.
