Nice pictures. So no old Uncle Jebidiah the miner dude warning those medaling kids not to go near the old haunted gold mine.

That's funny. I guess we were driving the "mystery machine."

I was waiting for the train in Ely. A gal on the bench next to me asked
what brought us to town. I explained that we were visiting all of the
old ghost towns in central Nevada. She wanted to know how many
ghosts we had found so far....... I explained that it was about history
and not a cable show. She was nice, but seemed disappointed.

The "unknown mine" in the pics following Castleton, is the "Wide Awake Mine".

Hi, I have been really curious about this Nevada Ghost towns. I really appreciate your photos that you took time to share here. I guess, you find it worth going there but I still want to find out and observe what is really behind the historic town.
