After breakfast we left at 6 am to climb 10 miles up and go 4 miles down to Virginia City, an old mining town. It was a treat to have a latte and candy from a little candy store. The musuem was as eclectic as they come. There were lots of pictures of the early townsfolk; vintage clothing and furs - buffalo fur: gun, stoves, saddles, etc. It was fun to browse through. While we rode to Twin Bridges we stopped to see a Catholic church that was build in 1910. It is a historic sight and in perfect condition. In Sheridan we hit the grocery store for lunch and made a stop at the Library where the librarian, Bill Hardin, showed us around. He organizes the books with the DVD movies of the same title. Also he works hard to get everybook in a collection. They have almost every Agatha Christie. He collects many foreign author books, too. It was very impressive for the size. Eric and I both being book lovers, really enjoyed it.
We are now in Twin Bridges for the night at a local park/campground. The showers are great.
