A ghost town worth seeing. At the turn of the century, Mammoth was generating more than $14,000,000 in gold and silver. Today, it is a site where a few people from warmer areas spend their vacation and help keep some of the log cabins in good repair. Except for weathering, the majority of buildings in Mammoth remain much the same as they were at the turn of the century. Submitted by Henry Chenowith.
