Rhyolite 1962 Chevrolet..and mines (#1069)

Rhyolite 1962 Chevrolet..and mines (#1069)
In the former town of Rhyolite, a 1962 Chevrolet -- miner’s car? Probably not. The area mines began in 1905 during a gold rush, but the mines didn’t last long and started dying almost as soon as they were built Rhyolite was close to zero in population by 1920.

But there were still (and still are today) itinerant prospectors looking for the big strike. Some have day jobs now, to be sure. It wasn't practical to commute out to the hills before the automobile!
