\"fallenfarm01\"<\/a>I took this photo ten years ago, and I bet many of you recognize the location.\u00a0 It’s on the south side of 1804, northwest of Bismarck near Hawktree.\u00a0 The house at this time was in pretty rough shape, sagging to one side, but the other little building was standing firm.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"fallen_farm_37667\"<\/a>A few years later I ventured out to the house with a friend who was visiting from Alaska.\u00a0 The house was still mostly upright, but starting to collapse a bit more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"fallen_farm_37699\"<\/a>It was sagging most in the middle here, and it’s no wonder why it was beginning to lean to the east.\u00a0 By the way, this land is posted now, so there’s no hiking out to investigate any more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"fallen_farm_37058\"<\/a>This is what it looks like from the road.\u00a0 Sadly, the house has fallen in completely and the little garage-like building is doing its own leaning.\u00a0 Before long there won’t be any evidence of this local landmark remaining, at least nothing visible from the highway.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"fallen_farm_dji_0021\"<\/a>I didn’t actually see any signs posting the land, but I assumed they were there the other night – so, in order to satisfy my insatiable curiosity, I flew over the land (airspace being public and all that) to appraise the situation.\u00a0 Sadly, the house is even more deteriorated than I thought.\u00a0 It won’t be long before it’s just a nondescript pile of old wood rotting in the sun.<\/p>\n

On a recent photo road trip with a friend I noted that many of the cool “Fallen Farms” I have photographed over the years have begun to deteriorate, with many either a pile of old sticks or gone completely.\u00a0 Sadly, this looks like it will soon be one of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
