OK, I amA fan of old mining towns, ghost towns, etc.Or maybe I should say an old fan of ghost towns, etc.?

The site is for Jeep enthusiasts, but his trip is very very interesting and gave me some ideas for a trip for me this summer, probably in August.

I will be fairly close in the middle of August, as I am attending speed week at Bonneville salt Flats.

He goes from Amman Nebraska to Dillon, Colorado.  With some stops along the way and of course it's the stops and make the trip interesting because flat is not interesting.

Anyway, have a look.  I think you'll like it.  Maybe I'll see you there in August.

I am going to put it here as a link EBAY MINERS SITE click and you will be taken to a page that has eBay listings all sorted and ready for you.

When I visit a web page I enjoy looking at historical stuff. I could give you some examples but they are history now. Once I have looked at them I tend to forget about them unless it is something about a place I might want to visit.

So lets see what comes up in the way of historical gold mining ghost towns in Nevada. some times putting a sentence like this in will drag up a couple of good links. I will refresh and see what we get...

Not bad!!  I will include a couple here for you to check out, and be on my way to check some of the ones that look good to me. Maybe next time I will do another state.

Thanks for looking at my page, Del
