On the Mojave desert run on 1/3/09, I had the chance to talk to somebody that was interested in visiting and exploring old ghost towns, sorry to say I did not get their name. 
This might be another interesting trip that some might find interesting. I was thinking that if you had a metal detector or just want to try your luck at finding some gold or who knows, maybe there's a geo-cache out there somewhere, we could try and make this a day trip for those ghost town's that are close by.
Basically, a ghost town is any historical town or site that leaves evidence of a town's previous glory. This could be in many forms -- all businesses closed, municipal services at a minimum, rubble and old nails strewn about, ruins of former buildings, etc. Some places that are categorized as ghost towns;
I would not consider Amboy a ghost town, but in reality, it is a ghost town because services are at a minimum. Not my interpretation of a real ghost town but then, O well.
