After a jaunt through Downieville and a fall into Woodruff Creek we headed up to Forest City, an abandoned gold mining town. Outside the town's entrance was a sign describing a stage coach hold up / shooting. The cemetery was filled with children, as I've come to expect from ghost towns, and the town itself was amazing. Over a dozen standing structures including a dance hall, a school house, a museum...and several outhouses, one in which a bear had it's way with a roll of toilet paper. And you're probably wondering which ghosts supply the town with toilet paper? E Clampus vitus...a historical fraternal order, that left their mobile gallows next to the school house.

One more amazing thing about Forest City was that they had a rope swing! Two of my favorite things at one time: ghost towns, rope swings.

I really like the picture taken from inside the building. That rope swing seems way better than the one we found near the park.
The one that we found was totally better! The movie is an illusion.
