The engineering that went into some of these structures is amazing. Look at this outhouse!

They damned up this river and directed the water along this aquaduct. Pretty amazing!!

One of my favorites...

This is in west-central Idaho- many dirt miles from "civilization". You're looking at the entire town. It still services gold prospectors who typically use mule teams to carry supplies. I've seen a few of these guys on the trail and it's a wild sight. The kitchen is open every summer and the menu includes a price per-hour to "pasture" your pack animals.
