Damn, the circle becomes complete. The site was so close to falling down on it's own. It's sad that some jackasses, had to help it along. The trailer being burned is far worse. That's a sign of shear mean spiritedness.

On a similiar note, I've not had the heart to return to the Burro Schmidt Mine complex since reading and hearing of further vandalism.

That is so sad. It breaks my heart. I am very happy that you got such good photos of it the last time you went. What the hell is wrong with people? They clearly have no regard for history. GAH. Makes me ill.

I'm glad that our relationship has survived, even when the things we know and love around us fall into ruins.

Still doesn't change the fact that I'm sad as hell over "our" hotel burning down. Some men take their ladies to the beach or to fancy restaurants. You took me to a magnificent piece of Kentucky's past.

A beautiful sad post.
If there is anything I could do, it would be to go back in time and visit these ruins in all their splendor. I live near Detroit which is one huge graveyard of once beautiful buildings now burned, torn down or rotting from within and stolen of all their glory from robbers.
So sad, it really does make my heart cry.

I love the pictures of you two together. I can almost feel happiness coming from the building's remains in these pictures. I'm sure you gave it one last smile before it's bulldozed away.
