Bodie Ghost Town in California's high desert, a well-preserved relic of the American Wild West. This abandoned gold mining town offers a glimpse into 19th-century frontier life amidst a stark, beautiful landscape.

The Desert Inn, the finest cockroach, deer mouse, rattle snake infested motel in the West! "We'll leave the door open for ya!" (Hell, the door fell off its hinges a decade ago!)

#PhotoOfTheDay is from an off-road group trip that included New Idria ghost town, as seen here. I hope you're thirsty, because that hideously-contaminated water looks deeee-licious! 😁

I don't think I ever tooted this story since I've been in the fediverse, ergo, a 🧵 ...

It was 1973 and I was on a family vacation visiting the 19th century mining boomtown of Virginia City, Nevada. My parents wanted to take a boring--to a 15-year-old boy--tour of a Victorian home dubbed "The Castle" and later to browse the dozens of gift shops on C Street.

I decided to go checkout the creepy looking ghost town cemetery.
