We made two visits to the ghost town of Charleston. We had quite a bit of rain this year, so the town was pretty well grown over with weeds. There are still quite a few adobe ruins.

Here are some useful links, loaded with details, pictures and information. Please visit these sites, or do your own research, as I can't add much to what they already put together:
