We made a side trip to this cute mining town while camping in Sparks, Nevada. We have visited this town many years ago. The sidewalks were made of wood plank which made you feel as if you could tie your horse out front of any of the shops, restaurants, and bars if it was not for all the cars parked out front. There was off street parking available also. We took a very informative 20 minute tractor tour of the town. We visited this town on a Monday and although it seemed pretty busy that day some shops were closed for the day and some attractions were also closed. We toured St. Mary's in the Mountains Catholic Church. It was built in the 1800's and was rebuilt after the fire which took out the whole town in 1875. There was a museum and wine cellar in it's basement. Aggie snagged some earrings and sunglasses and I secured two coffee mugs. I relaxed with a cold brew while Aggie wondered through one of the several cemeteries and then we made the trek back down the mountain.
