The best thing about the West besides the gorgeous mountains and the wonderful hospitality of the people is the great old ghost towns. Nevada City, Virginia City, Bannack all have these great buildings. Walking along these streets with tourists eating ice cream and drinking soda in thier colorful clothes there is a sense that the inhabitants are still here watching and wondering where we all came from. If you are very quiet you can almost hear them with the rattle of wagons and the clink of spurs and the sounds of laughter from the saloon.
