July 30, 2011 Day 2 Elko to Carson City, NV

We visited the Nevada State Museum in Carson City, Nevada. It was very interesting and beautifully done. The had a ghost town, firearms, the Mint, Silver coin press, geology, natural history, and Nevada History.

Nevada State Capitol. Second oldest this side of the Mississippi

We went up to Virginia City. It is up in the mountains about 18 miles from Carson City. It was such a fun old town to see. Many of the old building have been restored and it was very interesting. We ate dinner there in an old restaurant that we could see over the valley for 100 miles. (they said)
