This is a family photo triptych sent to me by Lucy from a collection of family artwork left to us by our beloved cousin Peggy Mitchell.

New Years Day in Virginia City

 Dana & Leslie Loomis traveled to Reno this holiday to be with family and we got to see them on Sunday.  Jeffery and Dorothy Wilson spent the night in Reno on New Years Eve, so Grant and I drove over Sunday morning to join them on a jaunt up to Virginia City (not far from Reno).  It's an old silver mining town and still has some of the original buildings.  It was a really fun day, catching up with everyone.  We walked all over town and enjoyed a nice lunch.  Our final stop was at the old cemetary which was quite full of people walking around, even young people.  I guess history buffs are no certain age.  What a great day!

At the old Geiger Grade, overlooking Reno and Carson City.  This was the only way people could travel over the mountains back in the day.

Main Street

I couldn't get over the tilt of the roof and the unusual gutters

Studebaker!
