Miner's Cabin

Miner's Cabin
After driving out of Warm Springs Canyon on the south end of Death Valley National Park we drove north through the main tourist areas and then into the mountains on the west side. In the mountains we drove to the site of the mining town of Skidoo which turned out to be nothing but sagebrush and a sign, but visited several old mining structures and cabins on the way. This was a miner's cabin and had the old bedsprings and an old wine bottle still inside (see insets).

Excellent, but I'm puzzled by the wine bottle. That label style is fairly recent (last 20 years I'd say) and it also hasn't gathered much dust. I reckon it was left by a recent visitor to confuse the confusable!

The label on the bottle, Andy, says 1917. Whether that is correct or not I do not know but the area is remote enough and dry enough that it could be as old as the label says.

I didn't see the date at first, Ron. I see you have mentioned it in the bottle photo notes.
Still, I can't see how it is possible. I could accept the date as being the company foundation date but certainly not the vintage of the wine itself. I would bet money on it. The wine type is of a fairly cheap, non-vintage style too.
The clincher is that no wine anywhere in the world had a label that used this modern typeface in 1917.
If you can prove me wrong, I will certainly eat large dollops of humble pie! :o)))

I looked the bottle up on line and it is indeed modern, in fact they still sell a wine with that label and date on it, so there's no need to eat any kind of pie.

Seen from a distance, the cabin seems to be in an amazingly good condition. Impressive shots, Ron!

It is really the end of the world, Ron.
You took the most significant and common details for our amateur understanding, thank you.
