Catch Up!!


We have been busy! Our buddies from Raymond stopped by to have breakfast with us last Tuesday. We weren’t scheduled to see them until July, but they were coming up from Arizona from taking care of some business. Going around, that is Road Hog on the left, David, Gene with his best buddy Tully, and Aune. It was so nice seeing these peeps! And, today is Aune’s birthday!! Happiest of birthdays Aune! We love you!!



We decided on Wednesday that we would take a trip up to an old mining camp up in the mountains. Thousands of acres all around and it was all free range. What does one meet when it is free range?


Bessie! These cows were so friendly. There were 3 in the group, and Bessie is the one that owned the road.


We made it to Berlin-Ichthyosaur state park. It was awesome!





The fossils that were found was so big that they left it in the ground and built a building around it to keep it safe. The building is the photo below.








This is the adobe house. I would have loved to go explore the inside but it was locked up tight! There were a lot of cow pies in the front yard!



Tully found some snow!


The rest of the photos are of the mill, the machine shop, outhouse, and Assay office. Click on the photos to really see the details!














I wasn’t sure what kind of truck this was. The cab was made of wood. This mining town was the best! 


Yesterday, we hitched up and traveled to Sparks, NV. A beautiful park!


We are staying at Sparks Marina RV Park, and since we are in Nevada, grass does not grow here! Fake grass to the rescue! We are here for two weeks, and today we are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary! We are going out on the town tonight this afternoon for some Indian cuisine.
