Ghost Towns and More | Episode 21 | Volcano, California
Imagine a town named after something it wasn't! Volcano, California is situated in a lush, green, secluded, area in Amador County and is the site where a contentious battle almost erupted during the Civil War. As a semi-ghost town, Volcano is a great place to visit and is in close proximity to other historic places and ghost towns throughout the county. The historic feel of the town is unique from other ghost towns of the 1800's, and there are plenty of things to see and enjoy. The diner is a great place to stop for something to eat, and the calm, quiet atmosphere along with historic buildings and places to visit make this an excellent vacation stop you won't want to miss.

You show the town sign in the beginning of the video. It had the population of 100 crossed out and they added the new number above it. In 1966 they crossed out 99 to put 100. I was the 100th. I spent the first 4 years of my life there.
Man those buildings are cool. I can just hear the squeaky floorboards 😄
A couple of decades ago, a friend was married here and we stayed at the St. George hotel, they being married in the garden. An interesting place, made me a bit nervous as, nice as it is, a fire trap! The banisters only come up to a little over knee height and the verandas have a slight downward tilt; we were on the 3rd floor! Of course, we made good use of the bar that late afternoon and evening before the wedding, the next day.
Great video.
A former nstive of Sacramento, several times. Once, was to go to the rock and mineral store to look for guitar picks made of stone. A fellow musician told me about this store. We saw this old building…not sure if it was open. An old timer greeted us and we looked around. I bought a beautiful white quartz(?) pick. This was over 35 years ago. I bought others online in later years but this one felt the best. But I stopped using it until this past week. And now it will be used constantly.
Aww I liked the music from the first intro

Semi-ghost
Best miners Trail ever. Under the sea of Ione. Ancient sea aminals. Whales, shark, in the parking lot, serpent, pyramids, and more on the miners trail. California was an island. Neighbors are the Indian Grinding Rock. Same faultline. Hydraulic mining un covered the ancient sea aminals. Black Chasm.
We’re not a ghost town.
