#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.
