Travel Guide

Old weathered Ghost Town buildings in the desert during winter with snow. Ione, Nevada
Preston Castle-001
This is the notorious Preston Castle which was a reform school that closed in 1960. If not for the efforts of the Preston Castle Foundation the State of California would have had it torn down.
Spent a night locked in this abandoned and haunted reformatory with my family and some ghost hunters. We held a seance, took EVPs, and stumbled around in the dark. There were bats and owls flying up and down the pitch black halls. We heard voices coming and had flashlights and other electronic equipment go haywire. Their ghost tours are on hold while repairs are made to the building last time I checked.
Camanche lake is very beautiful and scenic place. One of favorite place for camping in the summer or just a day trip for a swim in the lake or fishing.

We have stayed numerous times over the years but lately it’s started to look dated and dirty. The elevators made noises which made my wife feel uneasy. I don’t thing we will be staying here again.
