Talk:Caribou, California

wait what? a town with no people? (shit, i wanna be the first to live there!) someone please explain --bī-RŌ 07:15, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

A town with no people is a Ghost Town, and I wonder if Caribou is one of them. Located nearby is the verified Ghost Town of Seneca. You can see the two towns on GoogleMaps here. However, on Mapquest, Caribou is located further south of Butte Valley Resevoir, than it is shown on GoogleMaps. Seneca has a historical plaque commemorating it as a ghost town, does anyone know if Caribou is deserted town, or just the name of a region? Perhaps it has a few structures like restraunts, but are only open during summer when tourists come? Tsarevna 19:41, 24 January 2007 (UTC)


 * It's a census-designated place, and who knows why the US Census designates some places, and doesn't designate other places. Looking at the census data, it says that there are only two seasonal buildings.  Blank Verse  23:36, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Explaining Caribou
21:01, 28 February 2007 (UTC)~I can explain as I work in the area a lot and have visited Caribou several times. It was an historic mining town and is located on Plumans National Forest Lands. Most of the buildings were removed by the USFS in the 1980's and the rest gradually deterioriated and are no longer there. All that is left are a few stone walls and foundations from the home sites--hence no people. Many have picked the site clean of artifacts over the years so (unfortunately) there is hardly anything left. 21:01, 28 February 2007 (UTC)Swimmer007
