It seemed very appropriate near Halloween to visit a real life ghost town. We have visited a few before but St. Elmo is the biggest and most preserved one I have seen.

It was fun to walk through town and see how people used to live.

The kids loved exploring the buildings and imagining what it would have been like to live there during the gold/silver boom.

There was a little ice and snow around but still easy to get around.

Have you visited any ghost towns?
