Nevada City


Trip to Reno, originally uploaded by James Hemsley.

We drove one day to Nevada City, a little silver-mining town that is now a touristy town in California. There we went to this state park (which I don't remember the name of), but only had 20 minutes to look around. It was on the site of an old silver mine, and you can tour the mine and also walk around the owner's mansion and gardens. Here we are in the gardens. James and Norah are next to a Gentle Geoffrey tree, I think...Gentle Geoffries smell like vanilla beans when you get really close to them, and have really nice needles. They are truly gentle (for pine-trees!)
