    What a great idea! A caboose for a house. Actually, I have seen one converted into a house. Really cool. Nice capture!

    Great story and excellent images Lanis......I'm totally kicking myself now for not checking this place out while I was over there. I went through Beatty, and had no idea this was even there..............let alone so close. It's a long way to come back from Australia, but it seems that it's innevitable the more I see of these ghost towns..............I hope the "economic boom" follows the "economic bust" as it always has, so I can get some savings back in force and make it all happen.
