a great source of information on the Spaghetti Western films. This is a well presented website with a nice overall theme and feel.

Spaghetti
Western Filming Locations A very unique website that deals with
locating original filming location of spaghetti westerns in Spain. This
must have taken the author a long time to put together -- I take it he spent
many of his holidays in Spain. The only down side to this website is that
its either in Japanese or Italian, but its mostly in Japanese. However,
its still very interesting to look through. We rank this website 9 out of
10 stars, just for originality. Very nice!

Barkerville: This is one of the best ghost towns to visit while
in British Columbia, Canada. In 1862, Barkerville was the location of
one of the richest gold strikes in North America, and by 1870, was the
largest town west of Chicago and north of San Francisco. The town is located
10 hours North of the City Vancouver, B.C., Just 50 miles east of Quesnel,
and was restored for British Columbia's centennial celebration in 1958.
It continues to be upgraded and improved and now features over 100 buildings.
Its a place where you could easily spend three or four hours just walking
around -- it has stores, two restaurants, stagecoach rides, and even a
bakery! See Barkerville at: Official
Website.
