Day 264

Back from Virginia City! The general merchandise shop.  A three photo panorama. Hmmm… Local flora. *** Returning to the Station, we waited for the train. We backed through the Wye on the Virginia City end of the line.  You can see the tail end of the Wye on the left near the log cabin. A three […]

Day 263

In Virginia City! Toots and the Alder Gulch Short Line!  The Dailylife Wife and the Opera House. Regulars at the Bale of Hay Saloon? A sleigh waiting for winter. Modern dentistry! Not so modern teeth… The Pair in front of the Steak House. A four photo panorama of the Livery Stable. How to get from […]

Day 262

More Nevada City! After lunch we took the Alder Gulch Short Line to Virginia City, the County Seat.  This is a two photo panorama.  The track is a lot straighter than it appears!  This is where we later photographed the Milky Way from. The happy crew, ready to roll. Some of those cars to the […]

Day 261

More Nevada City! The Kid at lunch. ** “Jeez, Papa.” ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 257

More Nevada City! Toots got to do a lot of things.  She carried water, delivered a package from the post office and learned some games. This is one I only tried once many years ago, without much success. Like the pogo stick, she seems to have master the hoop and stick without any problem at […]

Day 254

More Nevada City! A quilting table outside of a lived in, power and water free house.  Water comes in buckets from the well. Toots even got to carry some! A period correct firearms demonstration.  A percussion capped Springfield, I believe.  Just ignore those power lines behind the fence… Shooting the shooting! From top to bottom, […]

Day 251

Lookin’ pretty fly for a 91 year old white guy! And I thought we got a lot of birds in our yard! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 250

Toots made a “coup” (coo) stick. Since the traditional eagle feathers are Federally protected and banned, she used a pheasant feather and one from a seagull. I don’t know how many hundreds of these I carted home as a kid… ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 249

The Dailylife Great Gramma had a watering project. Toots likes to play in the water. A natural fit! *** Exchanging Secret Gardening Lore. Watering the leaves in the tree… The traditional rolling up of the hose! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 248

The Dailylife Wife and Great Gramma on the back porch. The Dailylife Great Grampa.  That back porch is a nice place to sit when the skeeters aren’t out! Toots down at the fence taking photos of the two balloons. ~Curtis in /\/\ontana! {!-{>
