[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1599354, member: 498"] There are a lot of old mining town here that just don't exist any more. We drove past 5 others on our drive. Two of them there is nothing there at all. The others just have a ranch house or two. They were all booming after gold was discovered around here in 1862. Heck my little town could be classified as a ghost town. In 1920 there was 3 hotels, a drug store, general store. a couple of bars, a stock yard at the railroad, and a lot of people. Now the counter at the post office is only open from 8:00 to 10:00 AM. There are no businesses. There are more empty houses in some state of disrepair than houses that are occupied. When the gold mines shut down in 1920 things started going down hill. [/QUOTE]
