Palmetto Ghost Town
High in the mountains of Nevada, near the California border, is a historical marker and the remains of some stone buildings. I spent a night in the parking area beside the lightly used highway. Palmetto was a silver mining community, with a peak population around 1906. There are dirt roads on both sides of the highway, but no signs to say if they are BLM or not. (Nevada BLM does not seem to put up as many signs as the California and Arizona offices.) Being high desert, it got pretty cold at night. Even with my antenna and amplifier, I was not able to get a Verizon signal to get online.
