Hubby is wanting to visit some ghost towns (like old west ones), but he doesn't know where to find any. Do you have a source? Do you know where some are located (state and town)? This would be a driving vacation for him and his buddy. They are into anything western.

Bodie, California is a very neat ghost town. Here is a quote:
Bodie is an original mining town from the late 1800's. What's left today stands in a state of "arrested decay" and is maintained by the California State Parks System, who took over the town in 1962 to make it a State Historic Park.

Check this out. I know nothing about ghost towns, but this site might be a good starting spot.
