Historic Sandon

With respect for the current resident or two still living there, some might not consider it completely PC to call Sandon a ghost town; but as of yet plenty of shadows from the past are still hanging on to a faintly familiar refuge. Sandon reflects the unfortunate pattern of decay that occurs in many historical sites, and today hardly resembles the thriving mountain gulch city it once was. City planning was not often the priority for boom towns, and Sandon exemplifies the protocol for a pioneer city suffering the wrath of its own shortsightedness and bad luck. But in the amount of ore and hard work, money lost on hookers and cards, rate of boom to bust, & impact and variety of disasters incurred, there wasn’t anything that boomed and busted quite like Sandon.
