Yes, about 30 miles NE of Tahoe. It was the location of the Comstock Lode. Biggest silver lode ever found in US. It ran out in the late 1800's and everybody left.
We visited there about ten years ago on our way to Reno. Their main industry now is tourism. The only place I've ever seen with a working 3 reel penny slot machine! Fun visit, rich in history but not too much to see!
Visit Wikipedia to find out the Mark Twain connection! _________________ John...
