In Reply to: ghost town and back road maps posted by Mary Paul on June 21, 1998 at 18:53:22:
: My husband & I are going to wander the back roads and take in the ghost towns of Nevada. Most likely North of Vegas to Battle Mt., East to Elko & Wells and South to Ely and back to Vegas. Any hints where to go? Have a Jeep (a real Jeep, not a street Jeep) and camp gear. Any suggestions for good maps that would show old mining roads or dirt trails. Like to travel by dirt as much as possible. That is the general area but if there is something spectular any place else in the State we are open to suggestion.
: Thanks,
: Mary & Paul
You should pick up the book Nevada Ghost Towns and Mining Sites, hardback (not sure who its by, but check out also the Cal-Neva ghost town page for more info @ www.cal-neva.com and the Nevada state ghost town site). This book has accurate discriptions, directions, and history about any site in Nevada worth checking out!
