Saturday Fun!!

On Saturday, we piled into the Tahoe and headed east towards Barstow. We wanted to check out the Calico Ghost Town. So many times we've driven by and never stopped. Well, today was different! We weren't in a hurry to get to Henderson, NV to visit family...

We were just tourists today! Geo-tourists. How fun to experience the desert again as a professional Geologist (whoops, I mean a professional stay-at-home mom). I'll tell you what, I enjoyed this more as a stay-at-home mom than a Geologist! Shayna loved hiking around and checking out the anticlines, synclines, & talus which surrounded the town.
















We took a train ride..

Made some new friends....

Explored a mine...

Hiked a trail...

Viewed some FUBAR'd geology....

Rode on a wagon...

Bought Shayna a $0.50 squished penny...

Until we could go no further!!!

It was a stellar day, perfect spring desert weather, and a bonus... Shayna slept the ENTIRE way home!!!!
