View of the lake from the boat launch area. The lake is long but not too wide. Summer rates at the campground range from $25 to $35 depending on sites and hook ups. |
Another view as I walked out on the dock. |
Lots of white picket fences and beautiful gates and flowers. |
Early reports told of miners pulling a pound of gold a day from Deer Creek. |
We were impressed with how well these homes have been cared for. |
Too bad they don't have old cars or horse and buggy's out front. |
Nice old wrought iron fence and gate. |
Really nice stain glass and ornate gate. |
This is one of two old firehouses in the town. This one was built in 1861 and was one of Nevada Cities first volunteer fire company. |
This is The Nevada Theater. Built in 1865. |
There are many shops to explore and Diane enjoyed herself. |
More shopping. |
A rustic looking place. |
This is the National Hotel. It is the state's oldest continuously operating hotel consisting of four buildings built in 1854. |
Nice piece above this door. |
Another view from across the street. |
The hotel finally ends at the corner. |
Did I mention the shopping. |
Some nice homes in the downtown area. |
This is the other firehouse in the town. They claim it is the most photographed building in Gold Country. It was built in 1861 and now is a museum. |
The old assayer's office. |
This is one of the oldest buildings in the town. |
Old belt driven rock crusher. |
This is a giant water wheel. If you look close you can see how I am starting to wear down with all the shopping. |
Giant mining core sample. Check out Malley who enjoyed her ride around town. |
This strange looking bus had New York plates on it and the young couple who came out of it looked like something out of a hippie commune. Long way from home. |
And here is the happy shopper, bags in hand and ready for more. |
