The pic was taken in an area called the ditchbanks about 35 miles west of Duluth, MN. It is now a state forest but originally ditched out and drained to provide land for homesteaders but it never panned out for the few who tried to homestead the area. Occasionally you can find some old foundations of those who tried to farm the area and failed. Art+
Thanks, Art+ for the info! You are in Dylan Country! ;-)
