Old Homestead type photos?

I searched and didn't see one, but I have some great pictures of old homesteads that don't fit the mining camp thread, but would be of interest here anyway. Just wanted to make sure I didn't duplicate a thread

I edited it to get the thread going. I'm told there is not another thread and esh was kind enough to get us started (see below) so lets see 'em guys, I know you got 'em

A couple from near the Owyhee River in SE Oregon-

This ranch was bought by the Bureau of Reclamation when the Owyhee reservoir was installed. Very fun jeep trail to reach the ranch-

ranch supposedly had two of these waterwheels... I found one (dog in lower left included for perspective)-

That wheel is huge. I meant to post up some of my pics last night, but didn't get to it. thanks for starting off the thread esh. I hope others post up too. I have several I have shot in the surrounding area, some that are nothing but foundations and some that include the old leaning structures. I even have a picture of the foundation of the old homestead that belonged to my grandfather's family (all the buildings are long gone).
