Shaniko
Shaniko is a self described "Ghost Town". With a current population of under 20 it lives off Tourism and the guests at the Hotel. Once the wool capital of the whole USA, the rerouting of the railroad, the dust bowl and a major fire in the town had a devastating effect on the prosperity of the town.
