Did a 4 day ghost town trip to various Calif. spots with co-hunter Brian from Sunnyvale "Cal Cobra".

The term "ghost town" used loosely to mean: Various stage stops, trading posts, emigrant camp spots, village sites, forts, etc.... On previous trips to these areas has yielded a few gold coins, bust coins, reales, seateds, etc... This trip was no exception. These are a random collection of pix from 5 of the destinations on this trip:
