On the start of the Apache Trail. These are straight from the camera, manipulation. Yeah I know some could use some help.

in the western part of the USA. some can be a lot of fun to visit like one California, Calico CA. in the Mohave desert.

I've been there, and it's not a 'Tourist Trap' in the common sense. You don't need to spend much money, and the buildings and surrounding country is worth the look.

Not Really. You can spend the day without spending a dime. No admission charge.

Calico was a lot more fun before the original buildings were stolen and moved away and the County of San Bernardino made it a park, paved the street with asphalt and build some poor replicas of what had been there. I know what was there because emu uncle took me there "back in the day" when I was 14-15 years old. I am now 81.

If I remember correctly the last time I was at Calico was 1982 or 83. it had dirt streets then I do believe some of there buildings did need repair mostly do to weather damage and poor upkeep.

My comments were based on a visit to Calico in 2011.
