The alarm went off at 3am, I did not get out of bed. Two late nights in two days and my bod was saying-"Are you nuts? Go back to sleep!" So I did. It was still really smokey this morning so I doubt I missed anything.
After our breakfast we loaded up and went to Nevada City/Virginia City. It was a nice drive of about an hour through mining country. Lots of round rocks piled up everywhere where they had dug. You could hunt for garnets at one place. Sunday, they weren't open. We stopped in Nevada City as you come to that first and looked around. I bought a cinnamon roll, yum-it was worth the sugar headache! They were having a special living history event so we didn't stay. There was a horse. Quinn is not quite sure what to make of a horse. She saw her first one on this trip, I got a very alert sheltie and I could almost hear her thinking "What on earth is that?!" The horse was very interested in her as well! On to Virginia City we went. It isn't far and on a Sunday morning not everything was open or dog friendly but we walked around and took it all in. Quinn drew lots of attention, as she always does, and was polite with all the new people. Makes me proud! Before long we were headed back to Dillon. There was a small traffic jam as we caught the end of the parade for a county fair, fun!
We came back into part of Dillon I had overlooked previously, there was another market and all the gas stations, etc. In the Safeway there was a - wait for it-Starbucks! Had to stop and have one!
All in all a nice day inspite of the smoke. We are being quite lazy on this trip, much reading is happening along with our walks. I've picked up a needle exactly twice. Boy did I bring way too much stuff!
