Alrighty, here is a little bit about some of the ghost towns we will be passing on the trail. My good ghost town site is down for maintenance so this is what I could come up with right now.
We will start off the trip at a gas station near Wendover and head a little bit north then east we go! The first "town" we come to will be
Lucin, not much here (or anywhere along this trail for that matter). Next we pass about 7 old ghost town sites until we come to
Kelton. If I remember this is where there is still a cemetery and some debris left from the old town. Pretty cool stuff to look at! After that we keep heading east traveling around the northern tip of the Great Salt Lake and if we have time I would like to make a small detour here to check out the
Spiral Jetty. We missed this on the last trip, maybe we can track it down this time. And finally we end up going through
Corinne. It may look like a nice quiet town now, but in it's hay day it was a pretty wild place! After that it's back to I-15 and back down towards home. I know it sounds like a quick little trip, but it is an all day event and should be a blast!
I did skip much of the history of this trail including Promontory Point, but I'm sure we can go over all of the details during the trip.
