Q1: What is a ghost town?

[Answer]

The mountains are filled with ghost towns - places that once prospered but which have shrunk to tiny villages or been abandoned altogether.

There are many reasons for this. Many are old mining towns, but others are places that have been abandoned because it's impossible to make a good living any more.
