Since the Ghost Town (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calico,_San_Bernardino_County,_California) is in the mountains behind Barstow it is well over 2000 feet above sea level.
We were amazed to wake up and find it snowing and the ground covered by a good dusting!
By the way, while I was outside taking pictures I heard two large booms that I took to be thunder or mining explosions. Later on I was assured by the people at the ghost town that the sounds were produced by military jets breaking the sound barrier.
I guess we forgot to mention that when we stayed at Calico Ghost Town we experienced winds high enough to rock the RV and sweep away our neighbors' tent. Ah. We thought it was rogue weather, but clearly not.
