Travel Update: Full Post to Follow
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving weekend. We had a quite but nice weekend at the ranch. Everyone in the family had a different “must have” side dish so I spent several days cooking. Friday has always been my day to change out fall for Christmas decorations and to make a huge pot of our traditional turkey tortellini soup. It’s a great way to use leftovers and freezes well for a quick dinner after exploring.
The weather was cool but beautiful and we visited Pine Grove with friends. My focus was to take photos from the same vantage point as 125 year old photographs. On the way home friends introduced me to an awesome cemetery, Valley Grove, with graves dating from the 1880s.

Hello my name is Aaron. I am a metal detecting enthusiasts. I live in South Lake Tahoe. I have never been detecting in a ghost town but I have been thinking about it lately. This is my first leg of getting information. Are there any old sites that you would recommend?
Tami says
The Historical Preservation Act protects historic sites on public lands. Many ghost towns are monitored by stewards and cameras, and I have heard of people pillaging sites who have been arrested. Make sure to check with the land management agency to see if metal detecting is allowed.
