Virginia City is one cool town! We were lucky enough to visit this relic right out of the Old WEst twice! On September 13th we visited the students at the elementary school in Virginia City (Hugh Gallagher Elementary School)and I must say that as I saddled up, I felt as if I might be riding right into the past. With old, warped wooden sidewalks, false fronted stores and many saloons, the main street is very much as it must have been a hundred years or more ago.
After the signing, we took a little time to explore the shops and then headed down the scenic Six Mile Canyon road in search of wild mustangs. Alas, the band Dani and I had spotted on the outskirts of town on Friday were nowhere to be seen when crew members Jan and Jane went looking for them.
On our way back to the Royer Ranch near Dayton we stopped to take a couple of photographs in the picturesque Six Mile Canyon...
