So I'm reading a book about mid American states in the late 1800's & early 1900's. And this startling fact pops up !

All those long gone villages, towns, etc. - are you all checking into this ? It seems like there should be one for every 10-20 miles in most states. Go to a library, find the books on them, lay out a plan. Ask the librarian for help finding info. With so many sites waiting for you it seems like one cannot go wrong.
We have been to probably 50-60 sites in Az & N M and I can tell you there's nothing quite like being the one to find the goodies. Think old foundations, dump sites, roads along & into places, things out of place, etc. And if a site is in a well known book on ghost towns don't go there. No doubt other hunters have been there before you. Find the not well known ones. Feel free to write me and ask anything about this.
Good luck, Steve in so az
