Why this spot
1928-1929 gold rush camp
Gold camp that drew 500 people within a month in 1928 and between 1,000 and 1,500 by that summer, the last large mining rush in Nevada. Gold was too scarce to sustain it and it was quickly abandoned, its post office lasting only from April 1928 to April 1929.View source →
