Empty water troughs. Old saloon signs thumping in the wind. A handful of people still live in many of the former coal boom towns, especially in the southern coal fields. Respect their privacy. Don t go tromping through people s property without permission.
Many ghost towns are along treacherous and narrow roads.
Snow doesn t melt as quickly along these roads. Ice may form faster. Plan your trip ahead of time and be sure to listen to the weather forecast. If the forecast is for snow or ice, stay home. Fill up on gas and food before you go.
