Sleeping with Ghosts

Jill's Journal: Tonight we’re staying in a ghost town. Yes, really.

Not just figuratively (this particular campground is deserted with the exception of one other camper), but literally, as we’re on the site of California’s best-known ghost town.

Calico Ghost Town is located in the area around the Mojave Desert. It may have been booming in the late 1800s and may be busy these days with modern-day tourists during daylight hours, but it’s eerily quiet and feels exactly like a ghost town should at night. The old Calico cemetery even overlooks the campground. If chains start rattling, we’re outta here! :)

Sounds like you're making your way to my neck of the woods, somewhat. Where are you planning on being in the next 2 weeks or so? Send me a message via FB or gmail.
