When returning from Las Vegas on highway 95 we noticed this cemetery in Gold Field Nevada, an old mining town where Wyatt Earp and his brother once owned a gamblng house. The gold mines didn't last long and the once bustling town of 15,000 all but died away. There are still working mines, a few stores and a saloon. Many of the old buildings still stand. If you like the old west and ghost towns you would like Gold Field.

Yes I stopped in Beatty. We saw a roadside flea market and stopped. We had our granddaughters with us and the man running the place gave them nice necklesses for free. My wife bought a few things but it really struck me how friendly the people were,

Did you stop in Beatty, Nevada? It's about 110 miles north of Las Vegas, if I recall correctly. Lots of neat stuff around there. For example, there's an old ghost town nearby called Rhyolite, Nevada that was a silver mining town back in the 1800's
