I started the new year off with a nice long hike through an old abandoned Quarry up on the bluffs of LaCrosse. Armed with my new Ricoh GR3x Camera I set off to see what I could capture.

The old roads of the quarry are a popular spot for locals to walk, even in the winter.

After a while you start to see what is left of the old structures that were once used. here is an old scale for weighing the trucks.

There used to be more buildings throughout the quarry, but here is one of the last "still standing".

I wish I knew the story of how it burnt down.

There are so many little details that I could have spent all day here.

They just don't make work benches like they used too.
