Ghost Town (pictures)

Well, on Sunday. I went to Ghost Town with my friend Keri. It was an hour drive to get there. It kind of reminds me of Tombstone that is the south part of Arizona. It was really neat, I enjoyed it.

So i thought i would share the pictures with you guys.
So here are the pictures enjoy!

I was on top of this old house that had really nice stairs, the ones that twist. So i took these two from up there.

Wow, that's an interesting place to visit! It doesn't seem as creepy considering a bunch of people were walking around, but if you were there alone that would be a little spooky. Either way it looks like you guys had fun! You're very pretty, Almita!

Gorgeous photos! Did you take any with a sepia setting? That'd really give it an old west feel. :D

Looks like a fun time.

Wow, that is pretty neat. Do you park at a Welcome Center, and then buy tickets to the train that takes you to the town? Is there a story or history that goes with this town? It looks like a good way to spend the weekend. :) Thanks for sharing that.

In the front you park, then there is a train station right there. They take you on a tour which is a really, really, slow ride on the train. Since we already went around the town we went on the train so it was nice to just sit and listen. We also went in mines talking about that if you did one wrong move while working in the mine they will kill you. Not much of a good life back then in there. Church you had to go to twice a week. Of how little the town was it was very populated. It was really fun.

Thank you everyone. :)
