Ghost town

A few days at Tahoe then out to the desert. Berlin, Nevada. 
 Mostly it's ruins now


The most popular place in town.


 My car is almost as new and in as good condition as this one. Berlin was a mining town but never had more than several hundred residents. The mine buildings and much of the equipment is still there.


Nearby is the 'town' of Union. 'Town' consisting of a single abandoned shack.

There were only three other campsites being used. It was utterly quiet and the nearest light about 2 miles away an a few hills over so the stars were clear.There were a few critters. The coyote that sat outside the tent and yipped. Lots of jackrabbits.
And some fence lizards.

It was a terrific trip to the central Nevada desert.
