These abandoned cabins are remnants associated with the mining camp for the Boston Mine that busted before it ever boomed. This may not have been the most logical location for a town, sitting around 12,000 feet of elevation in a basin surround by steep mountain peaks, but miners only had one thing in mind: gold! Though they had found a thick vein of it in the mines up Mayflower Gulch, the poor quality of the ore caused the mine to fail in the late 19th century.
