Coulterville is sort of just there, but as small towns go, it's a thriving one. They even have a fire station, rather than depending solely on CalFire (though who knows who's trucks are inside). The downtown street had people bustling about, so the town itself was alive and well.

I cheated; this is the sign leaving town, since the one coming in wasn't safe to approach.	Coulterville's fire station, complete with old style bell (red pole, left), and a newer siren (unseen, right).	The General Store; while not looking as though it's 150 years old, it's seen its share of winters.
The mobile home park isn't your traditional double-wide place -- it's literally the RVs used as homes.	The old looking building is still quite functional -- it's the local museum (a steam train is in front).	As you're leaving town, or coming in from the southeast, how you'll first see Coulterville.
