Took a trip to a ghost town today! June 20, 2010, 10:32:14 PM My family and I took a small road trip to a ghost town today. I am a history major and I LOVE old, abandoned, and rundown buildings so when the family asked what I wanted to do for Father's Day this was my suggestion. The town is called Rhyolite, NV, about 115 miles from where we live in Las Vegas. Here are a few pics. The pics are:1 - Town sign with mining area in the back2 - Rhyolite Mercantile store3 - House made of glass bottles from the saloon4 - Train Depot/Casino5 - Old train car6 - Bank7 - Bank8 - General store9 - Jail10 - School11 - Grave12 - Grave Quote Selected

Took a trip to a ghost town today! Reply #6 – June 23, 2010, 12:41:13 PM That is pretty cool. I like to think about what those places looked like when people were using them and who may have walked through them in years past. It makes me think about how short and fleeting our lives here really are. Not too many places like that back here in the east. Quote Selected

You have to wonder who traveled through there and what daily life was like. Very cool to see what's left. Certainly not much like that in the midwest. Quote Selected
