Hi All
Last weekend I was on my way home from Las Vegas and I took a little
side trip. About half way between Las Vegas and LA, only 4 miles off the I-15 is
"Calico Ghost Town"
Here are a few photos
3 shots of a non-restored horse drawn hearse

4 shots inside the Maggie Mine - one of Calico's original mines and home of the "Glory Hole"
This is the real deal not a recreation.
