Colorado Ghost Town Photography - Querida, Colorado
Querida, for me, was an interesting find. Located on one of my topo maps at the south side of Mount Tyndall, the first thing I noticed about it was the large foundations and mill of the Bassick complex on the north side of the county road. Then, on the south side of the county road, I noticed a collapsed mine shaft and what appeared to be an old boiler. I looked around to see there were a few small buildings in a vast field and one house in the distance. It was only when I saw a chimney to nowhere did I realize this entire valley was, at one time, the town site. In 1881 Querida had a population of 500. Around 1906, it was abandoned. Between 1917 and 1920, some mining resumed with a post office opening during that time under the name Bassick. This was a company town, and by all accounts this caused most of its demise.
A made a video panorama showing the extent of the town and the emptiness that now is. You can see it here.
