Journal Entry for Friday, Apr 6th

St Thomas Nevada Yesterday I hiked to St. Thomas, Nevada. This is the second time I have visited this unique spot. St. Thomas, Nevada, is a ghost town in Clark County, Nevada, in Mopa Valley near where the Muddy River flows into the Colorado River. It was abandoned in 1934 as the waters of Lake Mead submerged the town. It is now located within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Fast-forward 73 years to today, and a 9 year drought has provided an opportunity to explore a ghost town. One can relive history as they walk the towns streets, around foundations, walls, and grated cisterns that dot the site, along with numerous alkali-crusted trails branching in all directions. The ruins of St. Thomas are protected by the National Park Service as a historic site. Check out today’s update to my original post here … St Thomas Nevada.
