Rio Tinto
Ghost Town
Elko County, Nevada
Not much left here. The government came in and cleaned up a few years ago, and many of the old buildings were moved shortly after the demise of the Rio Tinto mines back in the 50's. Louise Basanez in nearby Mountain City pulled out a few boxes of photographs for us showing the town in its original state. I only wish I had taken notes... The largest building remaining is the school, pictured. Most of the other building were quite trashed and not very picture worthy.
