Went up to Carbonado this weekend with my friend Brent and his friend Doug, met a bunch their friends up there, then slogged through the mud to find this ghost town.

It was a town, called Melmont. The ghost town label is a bit of stretch though. That implies some standing buildings and stuff.

What we found were the ruins of Melmont. They consisted of a rock wall that may or may not have been part of a building, the ruins of a dynamite store house, and the ruins of the one room school. Each separated by a quarter mile slog down a very muddy trail.

Still, it was a bunch of fun. An Adventure, you know? There's a ton more pictures on flickr.
