Went to gold mine ghost town about 50 miles Nw of Elko. Didn't see any gold or ghosts. Just a little town out in nowhere with as few as 15 houses/shacks. Junk has a way of dying gracefully in the desert. The old Dodge truck and stuff stacked in a yard like art were cool. The town did have a post office, tiny though. When I stopped by bar on the way back to have a sandwich and beer. The bartender told me I missed the old smelter, a photographers buffet. One thing that I found that I remembered from my first trip was the fake cow hoof shoes that a local rustler used for 3 yrs to fool the posse. See fake tracks and shoes were cool long before Bigfoot and plaster
