To reach Mindoka you'll probably have to walk the rails, so do so with caution.
Other than that, elements, bears, bugs.
A couple of small adjacent railroad and sawmill towns that were gradually abandoned by the 50s.
I came across the existence of Mindoka while looking for info on old ghost towns and the like and decided to take a drive to see what was there. As with many old rail towns, there's very little to see.
A farm implement, some clearings that likely would have been farm fields, and a collapsed empty log house were about all I could find. The house is right on the road where South Mindoka would have been.
About 1.5km up the tracks where Mindoka would have been there's basically just a field and one old farm implement. The rail siding is still active.
It was a nice walk though.
