I’ve been to Marathon a lot, but this was the first time I spotted this abandoned cattle pen. It was built from heavy timbers, and clearly intended to last. Which it did: it evidently outlasted the cattle industry out here.
Apparently the clandestine-message industry is still going strong, which I guess is good to know.

Back in the old days, they built things to last. Now things are done to get the job done at minimum expense.

All I can say is that the expectations for this place outpaced the reality of it…
