On the way home from Vegas we stopped by the Calico Ghost Town. It is just North of Barstow and just South of the Agriculture check post. We past by this a million times and Kenny out of the blue said lets go there. We were kind of excited because it was something new or rather old. They were known for the Silver which made them the richest in the state 127 years ago. It became a ghost town when the price of silver dropped $.67. It is one of the few remaining original mining towns of the western United States, thanks to the help of Mr. Walter Knott, founder of Knott's Berry Farm. Mr. Knott donated Calico to San Bernardino Country.
This is a mining house they built into the mountain. It is as small as my kids rooms.
Looks like a Goonies picture. With the boys in the eyes of One Eyed Willie.
The girls in the window of anther bunk house.
Trey is peeking out a peep hole in the bunk house.
This town had as many as 80 families living here at one time but now there is only 9 people.
We rode on a train ride hoping to go through the mining tunnel but only got a little underpass under the mountain. We had to walk through the mining tunnel, dang it.
I need one of these at home for time out purposes. The only thing is I would have to add more bars so they wouldn't escape through the poles.
The kids thought this was funny!
Tayah is so well endowed and look at little head Trey. It was a fun time walking around the old town. Now we never have to wonder what Calico Ghost Town is like.
