Today we got up around 7 am. It was very cold last night down to 20 degrees. Every time I got up I ran the water in the sink to make sure it wasn’t frozen. We had the heater on all night. Inside it was up in the high 50’s. Plenty warm. I was up around 7 am to take a few sunrise photos. After getting up I started cooking some cinnamon rolls in the convection oven. We are new to using the convection oven. But they came out ok. Probably should have cooked them at 375 instead of 400, because they were a little hard on the outside and soft in the inside. Not burnt mind you, but maybe just a little over cooked.
We also took showers because we are in an RV park and have
power and water. After breakfast and
showers we went up to the office an checked in.
It was $50 for last night. We
decided to stay another night, that was another $50. Turns out the spot we were in was reserved
tonight, so we had to move to a new spot.
After moving we went up to main street and walk along the
board walk looking at all the shops. I
was probably around 10 am. A lot of the
shops were still closed. We walked the
entire length of the boardwalk on both side.
Heather bought a few things. Of
course, I bought nothing. Women shop and
men wait around for them to finish shopping.
My parents took us to Virginia City
Nevada when I was 12 or so. In case you are wondering that was more than 50
years ago. The only thing I remember from that trip is going to the Bucket of
Blood saloon for lunch.

After shopping we got in back in the truck and drove back to
the campground. We had grilled cheese
sandwiches courtesy of Heather. Once
lunch was over we drove down every road out of town, road 6, the two different
highways checking out the sites. Not a
lot to see close to Virginia City. Heather gather some rocks and then we headed
back to town. We drove all the different
roads looking at all the old house. The
roads are narrow and steep. I’m guessing
they are narrow due to the fact that they were laied out before cars were
invented. Probably plenty of room for
horse and buggy.
After checking out the town and the surrounding hills it was
back to camp for dinner. Heather made
Spaghetti for dinner. Of course,
spaghetti was not supposed to be on the menu tonight, but some of our food
thawed out. In order to have spaghetti I
had to take everything out of the back of the truck just to find the two
ingredients needed for dinner.
Spaghetti noodles were found in one tub, while the sauce was in
another. Heather wasn’t too happy about
me saying a few words about how she packed.
I only hope she will start talking to me
again, but I will just have to wait and see.
