    Default Bingo!

    Yep. Josie lived (essentially) alone in that cabin for decades, into her 80s or 90s. She was one of the Brown's Park Bassetts, her sister Ann(e) was called "Queen of the Rustlers".

    Josie herself went through 4 or 5 husbands, including one she was suspected of murdering. She was also accused of being a rustler, moonshiner, and a poacher.

    Never convicted (Josie knew enough to enlist a high ranking Mormon leader as her attorney; this being Utah after all).

    Also suspected of being, in her youth, one of Butch Cassidy's "girlfriends".

    I love this character and her family!

    Here's an interior:

    and here's a RTA article about the location -- which more accurately is named "Painted Wall". But your photo is very nice!

    Default Gnarly, dude!

    Appears to be the Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse in Santa Cruz, now home to a surfing museum.

    I've watched some amazing surfing performances at Steamer Lane just beyond this spot!

    Where is this? What kind of ship is that?
