May 3 - 4, 2026: I was so anxious to get out of Arizona! I spent a glorious eight months there with sun shining nearly every day, swimming every day under that sun, good food so hard to find anywhere else. But the travel bug bit. I headed back to Nevada. A couple months ago I attempted Nevada and California, but encountered snow. The weather up in northern Nevada is now in the 40s at night so tolerable. First stop, Techatticup Ghost Town and the El Dorado Mine Tour!
This is the coolest ghost town I think I've ever seen! First, it has a LOT of buildings of all kinds, four of them are originals and the rest built over the years. Many of them are being used as homes. Second, it has a lot of old things just hanging around for interest and creative decoration. Over a hundred of every kind of old vehicle, ancient farm tools, musical instruments, weaponry, there is even something that looks like a time machine! So fun! See photos below.
I loved the "Big Sign" everyone is required to read, along with other sassy messages that constantly made me laugh:
 |
| Love number 5! |

| This is a mobile jail used at the mine for bad miners. |
