Just out side of tooele before you get

of the hill on route 36 some kids got killed ther so know one is allowed
in anymore. A caretaker has a trailer on the north end of the land. Closed
for redevelopment.UPDATE:
As of February, 2008, all but 2 small buildings have been bulldozed. Rumors point to an expansion of the dump (unconfirmed). Scott Thompson |

Old mining town died in the 30s when the mine played out Submitted by: Kristine clawson UPDATE: Bauer is located less one block away from the Tooele County Solid Waste Desposal Facility. Years ago the towns Resin Plant caught fire and the resin filled into a small patch of land and burned for years( This happened suposedly 1950-60) smoking out the residents. The owner of the modern town sued the Tooele county police force for putting up targets in the building windows and shooting them out. In 1998 The Great Western Tournament Series held a large Paintball tournament there. The property has since been bought by a developement company that posted No Tresspassing Signs. |
