Happy May flowers and Mother’s day to everyone!!!
Just a little babbling this time.

Memorial Day weekend party in Gold Point will be upon us in only 10 more days!!

If you are looking for some place to go for the weekend to explore with your 4x4, quad or motorcycle this is the place to be!! If you don’t know where to explore we will provide you with a map and directions and descriptions of what to see out in the back country around Gold Point. We can send you on a “3 hour tour” or an all day tour.

Don’t worry about packing food because we have all the food you’ll need with our breakfasts, lunches and dinners.

All you need is money and a sleeping bag and the sleeping bag is optional!!

We still have plenty of dry camping space available for tents or RVs.

We have one cabin left for rent if anyone is interested for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.

Live entertainment this year by Alkali Flats. They will be entertaining us with country and bluegrass this year for the first time. I’m told they have a following of friends that will be joining us this year to listen to them.

Don’t forget to have your “dinner with a ghost” Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights hosted by Ghost Town Operations and food prepared by Chef Dan.

If you’re interested in a flyer just write us back requesting one.

Alan Patera, author of the “Hornsilver/Gold Point” book, has reprinted it again because of demand. This time he has changed the front and back cover with color photos. If you’re interested in getting one just go to www.goldpointghosttown.com and go to the mercantile page and order one or more.

They say parting is such sweet sorrow. Well, I have to agree with that now. This last weekend Red Dog and I went down to Las Vegas and brought our travel trailer back home. Since the “great recession” began a few years ago I haven’t been able to find much work in Vegas anyway so I finally decided to call it quits and retire. I’m getting a pension from the union now and come this November I will be able to get social security. Red Dog has decided to retire the last day of this year also.

We are already advertising on our website that our cabins and RV spaces are available 7 days a week now and that has already shown a slight increase in guests wanting to stay here during the week.

I’ll do more of a newsletter sometime in June. Just wanted to tell you some important stuff right now.

Take care and maybe see some of you next weekend.

Thanks for reading this.

happy trails and sunsets
