On the Road to Las Vegas
On our way to Las Vegas, we stopped at the Calico Ghost Town. Calico was developed in 1881 during the largest silver strike in California. Calico boomed during 1881-1896; but the end came to the silver rush in 1896 and by 1904 Calico had become a ghost town. It was hot (about 100 degrees), so we want to go back in the fall when it is a lot cooler!

How fun! See...this is the kinda stuff that we did when we were kids! Some day I will be passing through Calico at a time when it is open so I can stop. Have always wanted to go. Thanks for posting the pictures!
