Hi All Attenders: It was great meeting you all. My wife and I had a very good time with you folks. After we left, we camped one night over at Highland Lakes (Hwy 4) on the stream below the lakes. I caught several small fish, but only kept a few.

Some of you went on to some ghost towns I think in Nevada, can you tell me about them?

We are getting ready for a two week trip and I want to go see ghost towns and fish. Old mining towns would be fun, but I am more interested in the ghost town concept. I am not sure which state would be best, maybe Nevada, Montana, or Colorado. Any comments would be most appreciated.

Again, we had a great time and I feel I made a few new friends.

Thanks for the photos, Marc. I feel better now. Especially since I took the liberty of modifying one (hope you don't mind).

Nice meeting you as well Darryl;
The Ghost town we went to was Bodie.
There is another one called Aurora but i haven't been there yet.
Maybe Marc and Dirty Dog can chime in; they went there the back way from Bodie.
Yes. it is a lot of fun to see how America was "developed"

We went to aurora but all that is left is the cemetery. We also visited Silver Peak (not worth visiting), Gold Point, and solo I went to Manhattan and Belmont. Pics and full report in a few days.

Strange that they would have a brand new Dodge sitting in the middle of Bodie!

... We also visited Silver Peak (not worth visiting) ...

I drove through Silver Peak a few years ago and felt the same way. Not much interesting there. Then last night while channel surfing I heard it mentioned. I knew Silver Peak was an active mining community but didn't know what they were harvesting. Turns out Silver Peak is the largest and one of the only US sources of lithium. As in lithium-ion batteries. As in our mobile phones and other compact electronics. So Silver Peak is in fact critical to the most modern of industries.

Now I think it's interesting.
