Last night at the hot pot dinner we invited anyone with a day off to come with us to Virginia City, MT. Jason from China and Karen from Taiwan took us up on the offer. They were pretty amazed with all the Chinese artifacts in the Virginia City Museum. I don't think they'd realized just how much Chinese labor went into settling the west.
A nap on boot hill after lunch.
We saw this eight-legged, one-headed 'bum' lamb in one of the museums.
We all had fun at the music halls. You have to listen to the most annoying horns in Montana at least once in your life.
Jeff got a kick out of the flip book movie machines. (I'm not sure what they're called)
I liked this machine that delivers your fortune (based on hair color) on a little white card.
No visit to Virginia City is complete without a stop at Cousin's Candy Store!
On the way back we stopped at our land on the Madison and at Quake Lake to see where a landslide, triggered by an earthquake created a lake.
Here you can see where the land slid off the mountain. Our land is in the valley beyond.
Here is the outlet of Quake Lake, cutting through the landslide. You can see trees sticking out of the water from before the earthquake. Many people died here. Very sad...
