Ghost Towns Everywhere in These Here Mountains

Wow. Went to the montains to fly fish & there are ghost towns everywhere here. Some abandoned a century ago.

The streams are loaded with fish, the mountainsides full of wild turkey, deer & abandoned towns along the old railroad. You have to go on foot to get to some of these ghost towns or have a really good 4wd that can drive on the old train tracks in mining country.

These ghost towns are mostly just foundations & piles of stone and impressions of streets. Had to buy a local Historical Society book to get the coordinates.

I wonder what it would cost to buy one of these old ghost towns. Wouldn't be too hard to throw together a quick sod house on an old foundation in a pinch. Would have to have a ham radio rig tho. Maybe some have cell phone coverage.
