My Favorite Ghost Towns
Have you ever been going down the road and glanced out the window to see a an abandoned house, rock building or even a lonely stone chimney in a field? Did you wonder who could have built it, or lived there at one time? How about taking that side road into the mountains and going around a curve and seeing a set of abandoned buildings up a gulch, exposed like weathered brown skeletons against the sky? These are all glimpses into our past history. There are ghost towns in every part of our country, towns that were born and then died due to the political winds, economic booms, or mineral wealth of the area. I've found the west a fascinating place to explore these ghost towns, and in these pages I'll share some of my favorites with you.
