Empire Mine

Friday we made a spontaneous move and went down to Nevada City to drop an application off for Scott, little did we know that it wouldn't matter. Elaine knew about this Empire Mine park what was there so we went for a tour. By the time we got there we were starving and hurried to eat. Afterwards we went into the park. Gorgeous green grass, gardens, cool old stone houses, awesome clubhouse, and mining shafts and stuff. the drive was long and Michaela did well on the way back so she is getting better but now we have to make the trip to Humboldt. That should be fun!

The girls itching to get out and run around

Us along the water stream that goes into a bigger pond

Ringing the bell for dinner

Mine shaft, it goes down 1 mile I think

Elaine and the girls in the car that goes down the shaft...it was really dark in there

Display on the empire collar...see the guys packed in the cars
