Goldfield Ghostown

During our road trip we saw our fair share of ghost towns.

And finally we decided to stop at one of them.

Welcome to Goldfield, Nevada.  Home to boarded up houses, a historical court house and a fiery fire engine.

Founded in 1902, there were once about 30,000 people here during the goldrush and apparently a whole lot of tavern drinking.

And now it’s dead.
