Everytime I drove between Southern California and Las Vegas I wistfully looked at the signs advertising Calico Ghost Town and wished we had time to stop and take a peek. Last Vegas trip my dreams became reality! It was sort of a disappointing reality. It was July and well over 100 degrees, which was sort of exciting to experience in a masochistic way. The little shops and town were cute, but they looked more touristy than ghosty (I know, I’m writing about my love for tackiness and I complain it’s too touristy?!). I don’t regret the stop, but I probably won’t be back.
Illuminated Past 
After many years of driving to Vegas, we finally stopped at Calico two summers ago. It was too hot to really enjoy it, but I’m still glad that I had my curiosity calmed. It was neat to see, but I won’t likely stop again. Gotta get to Vegas ( or home after a long weekend!)
