Once believed to have therapeutic healing powers, the waters of Lago Epecuén in Argentina drew tourists to its shores in the 1970s and '80s. The community of Villa Epecuén thrived on tourism until a terrible storm flooded the town in 1985. https://i.postimg.cc/02J7zLJK/BBTTsaa.jpg Salty floodwaters of more than 30 feet consumed the town until beginning to recede in 2009, slowly revealing the ruins left behind. People can now see some of the remains that have surfaced over the past decade. |

One of Nevada's largest ghost towns, Rhyolite, was once the third-largest city in the state. Formed during the Gold Rush in 1904, it grew to be a bustling town of more than 10,000 people with an infamous red light district, 50 saloons, hotels, an opera house and symphony, a school for 250 children, a hospital, and even its own stock exchange with a three-story bank. The Death Valley area town was also known for its lively nightlife, and socializing at sporting events and dances were common. https://i.postimg.cc/gkR4Cws7/BBTTsde.jpg Like many Gold Rush towns, it lived fast and died young. By 1916, the town was deserted. It's been abandoned for more than a century, but you'll still find the remains of its bank, jail, train depot, and a restored Bottle House (made from 50,000 glass beer bottle bottoms, of which the desert town had a steady supply). Over the years, it's also been restored many times for Western films. |

Once considered Detroit's Ellis Island, the three-story Michigan Central Station was the tallest railroad station in the world when it opened in 1913. The train terminal had 54-foot ceilings, 68-foot Corinthian columns, and grand chandeliers. But by the 1950s, the number of passengers traveling by train diminished across the country. https://i.postimg.cc/NG2xXy30/BBTTxoD.jpg Despite Amtrak's attempt to revitalize the station in 1971, the last train left the transportation hub in 1988, and the station was quickly abandoned. For decades the station deteriorated and plans for upgrades (or demolition) faltered. But Ford bought the property, and a makeover is underway to restore the dilapidated structure to its glory days as part of the automaker's planned $740 million mobility-focused campus. |

Until 1997, the tiny island of Montserrat — an overseas territory of the U.K. in the Lesser Antilles, West Indies — had been enjoying a bit of a tourism boom. The British isle 27 miles southwest of Antigua was where Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Stevie Wonder recorded at Sir George Martin's Air Studios. It's also the only country that celebrates St. Patrick's Day as a national holiday aside from Ireland https://i.postimg.cc/Mpq0g9vc/BBTTvw5.jpg But Plymouth, the island's once thriving capital and only port of entry at the time, was leveled by a huge volcanic eruption that destroyed much of the city and its surrounding vegetation. The capital — now the Pompeii of the Caribbean — was abandoned permanently in 1997. The Caribbean island is making a comeback, but the volcano remains a wild card and access to Plymouth is still controlled strictly. The stark, buried city is striking compared with the rest of the lush green island. |

Alaska is the country's westernmost AND easternmost state When you look at a map, you'll notice that Alaska is the westernmost part of the United States. But you might not guess that Alaska is also the country's easternmost state, too. How could that be? Islands in Alaska's Aleutian chain extend out into the Eastern Hemisphere. |
