We had a great family vacation, staying in St. George, Utah but visiting both states. It was strange traveling away from home for the first time in almost 2 years. I was pregnant our first family ghost town trip, now our son is over 6′ and will be graduating from high school.
I had planned on visiting tons of ghost towns but without Honey Badger, or willing travel partners, I scaled back. It killed me driving only a few miles from sites that have been on my wish list for years. I see a girl trip soon, staying in Tonopah at the Mizpah or newly opened Belvedere.
I’m splitting the trip into several sections this week. I will write a few posts about the ghost towns and historic sites we visited but many location I will only share photos.
Today’s installment is the trip down and back. Highway 395 to Tonopah, across 6 to 93 and across I15. We came back the northern route via Caliente then back up the ET Highway. Ten hours on the way home, probably 12 on the way there as we, OK I, stopped more.
My favorite stop was the decommissioned Tonopah Air Force Base, it is top of my list to explore when I got back. Next would be the Caliente area which is also on my list to revisit.
