Title: RV trips in the west - Idaho ghost town
Post by: pz on September 17, 2013, 02:26:12 AM
I love visiting ghost towns, and other relics of the gold mining era.  Here we visited an old mining town near the contemporary town of McCall

Here's my sweetheart enjoying the afternoon

The next morning it's hash browns and eggs

More old metal and old buildings - interestingly, you can rent the dilapidated buildings to spend the night.  They are surprisingly clean inside

It was a great day - very relaxing out in the middle of the wilderness, visiting that old town.
