: I've been to Gold Point, but never really have thoroughly explored it yet, due to the fact that it really is private property and I don't like to get out and browse or tresspass, knowing that those picturesque shacks might have someone in them who's watching me. : There is a man, who has posted occasionally on ghosttows.com, who owns a place in town and has lodging. It is Herb Robbins, and he can be reached at : sheriffstone@webtv.net : Also try this web site: : http://www.goldpointghosttown.com/ : I've corresponded with Mr. Robbins by email but not in person. : Recently the Las Vegas Review had an article on Gold Point and Mr. Robbins, the article entitled "SCARING UP A FUTURE FOR GHOST TOWN" Since there was no direct link to the on-line article, (I looked it up in the paper's on-line search) and there was an "Email this article to a friend" box in it, I asked the newspaper's website to email the article to you for your information (if it didn't come, try going to the Las Vegas Review website - http://www.lvrj.com/ and placing the title in the search box). The newspaper article talked all about Gold Point and Herb Robbins, so that should give you some more information : As for other Nye County ghost towns, try Belmont. It's very picturesque and there's a few folks living there. Some web pages with Belmont photos: : http://www.calneva.com/ghosts/ghosts3a.htm : http://members.tripod.com/catmandoo2/belmont.html : And there's even a B&B at Belmont. It's web page is found at : http://www.angelfire.com/nv/BelmontMonitorInn/ : Another picturesque ghost town in Nye County is Ione, which does have a small population. Nearby is the ghost town of Berlin, which is held in a state of "arrested decay" like Bodie. : Other than that, the rest of the ghost towns in Nye County are true ghosts and have no population and only scant ruins. Just take your pick of those on ghosttowns.com on the Nye County page if you're interested. : Hope I've been of help. Here's to a fine Y2K for you and yours! : David A. Wright : Great Basin Research
