Carson City, Nevada




We left Reno today for Carson City where we are based in an RV park. We will spend at least 3 days touring in our car Carson City, Virginia City and Lake Tahoe which are close together. Today we toured Carson City, the capital of Nevada. We did a drive by tour of historical homes and churches. We saw the governor's mansion built in the 1860's which is still used. We saw a historical house which is for sale across from the governor's house. It is in need of restoration. We think the owner can't afford to fix it up so is selling. We wanted to buy it as a fixer upper.

We toured the original state capital building which is still used. It has marble floors and walls from Alaska built in 1871. The landscaping is gorgeous with lots of trees and flowers.

Those are pretty buildings - kind of southern looking.

Lake Tahoe should be especially nice!
