Virginia City here we come!

Today we all jumped in the car and headed up to Virginia City. We try to go every time we come to visit. It is only about 30 min up into the hills. I have never seen it in the winter. Nice to go when not many people are there. There were a ton of pictures so I only put some up. It is still the most I have posted.

Jumping back into the car from taking a picture at a historical marker


Yes Katie Derek has been reading up on history for your lesson when we get back. This was on the Devils Load mining area

Iris waves Hi from her spot in the back seat

Mark Twain spent a lot of time in Virginia City. It was a gold town

Derek and I both end up in the poky. You all new it had to happen sometime :)

Iris and I pose by an old steam railroad thing

Yep Derek checked out some old time girlie show.

We had a great lunch. Yes Mom I had the yummy cheddar potato soup


This was a close we could get to the camel races

Derek honors the Clampers

I bet Derek could start a huge fire with these bellows

Yes we did take some pictures together

On our way back home we drove to Fallon to get stuff for dinner

There is a large air force base there.

Tomorrow we have to get ready to leave. It is going to be hard as we have gotten so comfortable.
