Silver City Adventure


Last weekend, the "big girls" and I enjoyed a day trip to Silver City with several other families from our church. Other than the fact that our church bus broke down on a windy, dirt road about 5 miles outside of the ghost town, we had a great day! Thankfully there were several other vehicles that were able to rescue those of us who had been stranded in a cloud of smoke. We ate a great picnic lunch before walking all over the quaint little valley that was once a busy mining town.


At the Dan's Ferry Station before crossing the Snake River.



The Owyhee Mountains were beautiful!

Thanks for sharing. We had thought about visiting Silver City but it seemed hot and dry...but you make it look a little more inviting. :)

It looks like it was a wonderful day! (other than the bus breaking down!) We might have to make a trip there someday soon!
