Carson and Virginia City





We toured a nice museum in Carson City. We saw a dinosaur skeleton that was found in the Nevada desert. They have a replica of a Carson City gold mine. Then we drove 20 miles away to Virginia City. The unique thing is that it looks just like it did in the 1860's. They have the original buildings with some restoration of course. We took a tram tour pulled by a tractor. We attended Mass in the oldest Catholic church in Nevada which is beautiful.

Tomorrow we are going to Lake Tahoe about 30 miles away.
