Tonopah, NV

We stayed overnight at the Bang Club Casino free parking for RV’s and Trucks. It was pretty empty until evening when the trucks started arriving.

The next day we walked around town They had a number of murals on the buildings This is the home of the Stealth Bomber when the air base was still open.

This hotel was supposed to open in 2008 and we learned that the pigeons have taken it over and it is not safe to enter.

We finally found the entrance to the silver mine park where we took a tour

This tunnel led us to the Stope mining exhibit where the miners would work in deep ditches like this.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the mine and the surrounding area history.
