Deeth to Charleston to North Fork

Elko County, Nevada

 

 

 

On the last day of June, 2002, my dad Barney, my son Harry, and I took a 'Sunday drive' from Elko to Deeth to Charleston to North Fork and back to Elko.  It was a wonderful trip.   The wildflowers were spectacular and the scenery was magnificent.  This page focuses on the road from Deeth to Charleston to North Fork.  For now enjoy the scenery - click on the blue headings to obtain the location on a topographic map.  As I have some more time  I will add to the history.  If you wish to help  ...  just let me know.

Abandoned Building - School? on Owyhee River

Addendum (August 24, 2002):  I spoke to Gary Prunty, Marge's son, today he said this building was a portion of an old school house.  It was originally on the paved road between North Fork and Wild Horse Reservoir.  The building was sold to the Goicochea ranch and moved to this location to be used as a ranch building.  Gary said he went to school in this building and Marge had taught grades 1 - 8 in it.
