Bright Side of the Barn: Franklin WA ~ Ghost Towns

January 10, 2022

Find directions @ WTA

We took a minute on our way from home in Black Diamond to Enumclaw where the horses are, to detour to a small town, nearly forgotten.....

Franklin, The first Ghost Town on

our new 2022 Adventure Tour.

This is only part one. We have to return!

We have more to explore. We went up one of the trails to the right. Next time, we'll go left to the cemetery and mine shaft.

I have a feeling there was more hidden under the black berry bushes than the eye could see....

I found it fascinating how so many trees looked 'dead' as if they too died with the town...

Random bricks and bits of foundations...

We live in such a beautiful place, rich in history....

Bonus on the way home, we found a small unnamed cemetery off the side of the road..

A little fresh air and exercise is good for the soul as well as the body! I love the adventures.... stay tuned for more!

Cause I gotta go back!

And I did! I made the hike up the hill to the Mine Shaft.

Blessed by God

Life's good @ the Bright side of the Barn

Thanks for stopping by

Until next time, Stay safe and Happy Trails.
