Two years ago when we went to California we visited this Ghost Town which at one time had a very large population and was a mining town.  It is taken care of by the National Parks Service.  I had to look at it from the fringes because I am not supposed to walk on uneven paths.

My husband took the last picture of the church when he walked through the town.  I will post more of the buildings that he took pictures of on my photolog.
