I made a stop there during my fall photography trip to the area. The skies were very clear and the conditions were ideal for night photography.<\/p>\n<p>I have written before about the Dorgan house and its history. I am very intrigued by the people that called this area home and by the lifestyle they lived. During this trip, I was able to locate some more ruins just upstream from this location and to visit an old homestead in the Big Bend Ranch State Park. All of these locations were connected by dirt roads which were built to sustain the mining operations and the communities that supported them. I am looking forward to photographing these structures in future trips.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14511\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14511\" style=\"width: 1125px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20181115-dorgan-house-15-edit.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"14511\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2018\/11\/night-sky-over-dorgan-house\/night-sky-over-dorgan-house-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20181115-dorgan-house-15-edit.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1125,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
