On our trip we decided to visit a ghost town that is a known tourist location in the area. It is an old city turned ghost town. The family that lives there tried to restore a few buildings and make it a tourist site. With only the museum and few other buildings restored they have not/will not finish the other buildings in the works.
We took a tour of the museum. Full of artifacts, photographs and other interesting items it was well worth our time and money. Our tour guide was full of knowledge and made the experience fun. I learned alot about the town and it was neat to look around at what was left today.
This if what always continues to fascinate me about this hobby. Seeing photographs and hearing stories about a place when it was at its best and then looking at it today.
Anyways, here are some photographs from the town.

That's quite the understatement for a fellow who was colourful, eccentric, and borderline insane, I think :P
