Forgotten Nevada
- Ever heard Ramsey? Seven Troughs? Pine Grove? How about National, Pamlico, Bolivia, La Plata or Hamilton? If these don't ring a bell, you're not alone. In fact, don't be surprised if you've never heard of these ghost towns. It's probably because there's little left to find out! These and countless other mining camps from Nevada's glory days are dwindling away at an alarming rate due to the sands of time. Fortunately, two guys, Bob and Luis, have gone out of their way to access, photograph, document and wonderfully record such lost places before it's too late.
