Ennis - July 25 nd 26

We had big wind yesterday that rocked us pretty good, but it finally died down. A couple in a motorhome from Knoxville parked next to us for the last two nights. Their names are Don and Kay Chase. I think he is a retired oral surgeon. We enjoyed chatting with them and another couple from California.

Today we went to Virginia City and Nevada City, 14-15 miles from Ennis. They are a tourist attraction because of the gold rush. Both look like cowboy ghost towns. We wanted to find Boot Hill in Virginia City, but the Visitors' Center was closed. I took some photos. When we got back, we rode a few miles from town to Lake Ennis. I got some photos there, too.

The amazing thing about being here are the views. This camper has lots of windows, and no matter where one looks, there are gorgeous views.

We heard on the news that a skier's body was found. He had been missing since March.

Phil's back was much better today, and he is relieved (both of us, actually). We are so thankful!
P.S. I uploaded a lot more photos, but only nine show. I'll have to post more on FaceBook.
