Tybo Ghost Town and Project Faultless

Come with us on a tour of an 1870s mining town called Tybo located in a remote corner of Nevada, 60 miles east of Tonopah, near a place where the next Nevada Nuclear Test Site was going to be located. Tybo was a successful mining town between 1870 and 1945. The single nuclear test that occurred nearby was called Project Faultless and it proved that the Hot Creek Valley, where the proposed test site was to be created, was not a good choice for testing.
