I have been out working in Anaheim, CA this week; and decided to leave work early to visit the old silver mine at Calico Ghost Town. It’s located outside Barstow, CA, 2 hour drive from work. Cost $8.00 to enter the park and another $3.00 if you want to go through part of the mine. Definitely a tourist activity but still lots of fun. I highly recommend it if you are in the area. Being from North Carolina it was interesting to drive through some of the Mojave Desert National Park.
