End Of The Line
56 miles from the eastern edge of Death Valley is what little remains of the town of Rhyolite, Nevada. It was one of the many gold rush locations in the California/Nevada area. This one took place around 1905 and suddenly people from literally all over the world rushed to this remote desert location and a town of more than 10,000 people very quickly sprang up. It stayed that way until the gold petered out and just as quickly (around 1911) it dwindled down to a handfull of people and became, like many others, a "Ghost Town".
