We took another short side trip to visit the Ghost Town of Liberty in Eastern Washington. I really enjoyed this. Heh, the nearest building along the road to Liberty appeared to be a Hell's Angels headquarters. ;-)

"Liberty was populated by people who deserted when news of the gold strikes in the Yukon reached the town. Liberty became a ghost town almost overnight. Some who were not successful in Alaska returned for a brief time but they too eventually left for good. To escape the summer heat of the nearby low lands of eastern Washington, a few people take refuge in the old cabins during the summer. Liberty is so high and so cool, it makes for a great retreat to escape the heat."
