The town (what's left of it) is Carbonado, WA.
Yep, from 1880 to 1920 something, they dug over 10 million tons of coal out of them thar hills.
We just returned ....... no confrontations.
Except, we stopped in at the old (1885) Carbonado Saloon and got a soda. The locals looked at us like we had 3 heads.
Spooky little town ....... lots of the old miners cabins, junk cars and pickup trucks but, no people (cept the ones in the saloon)......
Yep, we cheated death ...... again .......
