Proverbial favorite including the cute shop where you can buy T-shirts, walking the old town, feeding the Chipmunks.

We were expecting to explore a ghost town. This is an old town still occupied by private people. All but one building was open to walk in, all others either padlocked or stated private. Posters of the National Historic Society are on nearly all the...More

St Elmos is a ghost town, old Colorado mining town up a dead end dirt road. You can get there without 4 wheel drive. Very quaint, the mine was called the Mary Murphy - wonder where she was from! General store and junk shop well...More
