Spring Break Road Trip--Day One

Calico Ghost Town

Our family road trip took us to Barstow, CA and a nearby restored mining town.

This really wasn't much of a Ghost Town, since it's been all fixed up and filled with shops and eateries.

The streets were pretty deserted, for Spring Break. But, I guess this is one of those less-visited roadside attractions.



Next, we visited the local saloon.

The sign did say "Kids Welcome!"

We ordered us up some sasparilla and took in the atmosphere.


We took a cute little train ride that gave us a brief history of the town. Burned twice, rebuilt twice. Large population when the silver mines were at their best.
