Ghost Towns and Mining Camps of Southern Nevada | 
pickReading Abandon has given me a sudden interest in ghost towns. I had no idea how common they are and I would love to go explore a few some day. This book was a good way to get more information. It had a brief history of each town and included a good ratio of text to pictures. My only complaint is that it didn't show the inside of any of the buildings. Shown here is a house made out of bottles in Tonopah, NV.
Cinfhen Wow, cool picture 8y

Reviewsbylola I thought so too at first but it seems just like a way of life back then. They came into these towns to mine and then moved on once there was nothing left. Some of these towns literally were only occupied for just a few years. Very interesting! @Cinfhen 8y
minkyb How fascinating. I would like to see the insides as well! 8y
saguarosally Just remember, ghost towns exist in varying degrees of accessibility and remains. If it was inhabited after about 1920, it's likely still pretty accessible by car. Some have extensive ruins and some have nothing. 8y
Donna_sBookMinute (after googling "bottle house") . . . Ohhhh GLASS bottles. Silly me ?LOL. It helps to laugh at yourself sometimes. I looked at this photo a long time before I went to Google. ??? 8y
Reviewsbylola Yes, one town he highlighted literally has nothing left. They were all in varying states of decay and some of them had been well preserved and even reconstructed, which is great. @saguarosally 8y
Reviewsbylola Some of the ghost towns I read about online even had tables still set, like people literally fled. So odd and would be creepy and cool to see! @minkyb 8y
Reviewsbylola Lol! It is very odd, so I understand the confusion! @Donna_sBookMinute 8y
