Ghost Towns
Gold Point: the Nevada ghost town that wouldn't die. The old mining town is 3 hours away from Las Vegas, which makes it good for a day trip or an overnight in a cabin. http://travel.latimes.com/articles/la-tr-vegas4may04

East County
Running out of gas in undiscovered East County. Summer 2008 may be remembered as a season of disappointment, when gasoline prices topped $4 a gallon, energy market distortions spilled over into grocery prices, and families had to give up expensive vacation plans. How sad. Summer 2008 may be remembered fondly as the time we discovered the East County we thought we knew but seldom stopped to enjoy. “Staycation”, enjoying inexpensive outings close to home, has leapt into our vocabulary. How nice. http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20080531/news_lz1ez31gas.html
