The best burgers ever !!

Along our way we went through the
town of Walker...on highway 395.
This burger place called our names!!
It didn't dissapoint...I'd say the burger was the
best I've ever had.
They had a charming eating area with
handcrafted birdhouses, fountain and
beauitiful flower gardens.
What a find!!
I'm getting a malt next time!!

Here we are !!

Here I am with my brother Greg...
As kids our family would come here every Summer.
I can remember riding my bike to the lodge to buy candy !
We'd stay in one of the cabins, and pretty much fish every
day.
Not much has changed...I was happy to see that!!

Twin lakes...so beauitiful !!


The Little Chapel in the Woods


This is a little church that's nestled in the woods.
There had been a wedding there a few days
before...you could still see some of the flowers.
It's such a romantic place!!!

A real ghost town!!

One day we took a drive to Bodie...
In its heyday in the 1800's Bodie had a
population of 10,000!
This was a gold mining town...only about 5%
of its buildings remain.
People were still living here in the 30's !
The remaining buildings still hold some of
the owners belongings...baby cribs, sewing
machines,school books,etc.
We spent most of the day here...


Virginia City , Nevada

On the way home we stopped in Virginia City.
I loved going here when I was a little !
It really hasn't changed much...and we had a
blast!
Thanks to the kid with the skateboard for
taking our picture...

This is the Silver Queen!!
She resides on the wall of a Salon called the Silver slipper... her dress is made of silver dollars.
I remember seeing her when I was a little girl.
After all these years the Queen is just as beauitiful!!

What a name!! The Bucket of Blood is really famous...or in-famous?!
We heard a wonderful band playing, and just had to go in and see what was going on!!

Dancing on a Sunday afternoon

This was soooo cool!
Most of the town dresses up on the weekends...
The country band was fantastic!
We had a blast watching everyone.

See ya later!!
