Pioche, Nevada

I stopped in Pioche Nevada for lunch and found a really neat little town with a population of about 900. The town has a lot of it's old mining facilities still in tact. There is a cable car system that was used to transport silver and nickle ore in the 1920s and 1930s. Pioche is also known as having a million dollar court house. The original cost of $88,000 far exceeded initial estimates and was financed and refinanced with bonds totaling nearly $1 million. It was a neat little town I was surprised and happy to find.
