Calico Ghost Town is an Old West Mining Adventure.
It was extremely hot so John and Dee did not want to carry me....left in the car again to bake.
The place was called Calico because the mountains around there from a distance resembled the colors of calico cloth.
A GHOST TOWN IS......
"any place that has had a markedly decreased population from its peak, a town whose initial reason for settlement (such as a mine or railroad) no longer keeps people in the community"
Nearly 127 years ago, the town of Calico was bustling with prospectors searching for its mineral riches. Silver was king here and the Calico Mining district became one of the richest in the state.
Dee and John said they enjoyed the setting of this ghost town. The view of red rocks, blue sky, and odd mountain formations was beautiful. Because it was soooooo HOT, Dee stepped into the saloon for an iced cold SARSAPARILLA! Nothing for the me but a souvenir bottle.
