Ghost town of St. Elmo

Intact buildings at a corner of the main street provide a quality glimpse into mountain mining town life of the late 1800's. Lincoln Rogers Recommended while in Buena Vista: Hotel - Best Western Hotel Food - Quincy's Steakhouse Coffee - Bongo Billy's Cafe Attractions - St.

We went to see fall foliage and found St. Elmo. Were very dismayed to find some very roudy and rude young guys on moter cycles cursing at us and telling us to leave. I thought America was for all of us to enjoy ,not just the punks who think they run things.

I was there in autumn time in the late 80's and it was truly a "ghost town". I was there in September of last year and it was overrun by ATV's. It's a shame.

In regards to the ATVs in September - there is a fund raising event for charity every year at the end of September. It is the "ATV Historical Color Tour".
