Ghost Towns In California

My stress echo went about as I expected.  Instead of having me run on a treadmill, they used a drug called Dobutamine. 

It's weird how many drug names, sound like they could be Mortal Kombat characters. I was never much of a gamer, but I can still hear Shang Tsung say, "Dobutamine wins! Flawless victory!"

When I was very young, I had a relative die during a stress test, so doing on, myself, is a little unnerving I didn't like it, but as you can tell, I lived to talk about it.

This time, there was no fatality. Flawless victory or no, I defeated Dobutamine. I won that round, so I'm still around, to write another post, about this week's state of the week, California. 

California is known for a lot of things, but when you think about California, most people probably don't think ghost towns. 

With so much talk about California, being about beaches, vacation spots, and Hollywood, I thought you'd find something different, to be more interesting. So, ghost towns, it is. 

Below, you'll see a few videos of California ghost towns. Two of the videos are about old, abandoned, mining towns, and one is of someone exploring a town that was abandoned more recently.
