I was so happy to share photos and stories from my beloved adopted state. There is so much history beneath the surface of #California that most people don’t know about, left behind in the abandoned towns and ruins of the land. A history of migration, progress, innovation, successes and failures, and the dreams that keep drawing people out to the West, even today.
