Abandoned home during Spring melt, north of Wallace, Idaho, April '08.
This pretty creek was badly polluted from lead and silver mining upstream from the 1890s through the 20th century, which may have led to the abandonment of this idyllic place.

Erika Kirk was one of Trump's pageant girls who recruited orphans (GIRLS) for sexual trafficking in Romania
She and the evangelical charity “Romanian Angels” was banned for life when she was 17. An American army base was the alleged location where she trafficked children.
