Years, Mines, and Hours

Well yesterday was our final activity for the ward! We went up to a ghost mining town about 1.5 hours Northwest of here. It was really need! It was a lead mining community from the 1920's with lots of buildings still in tact. Some were still furnished with old stoves and shreds of wallpaper and lenoleum (sp?) on the walls and floors.

After exploring the buildings, we actually went down into one of the mine shafts. It was like a movie... cold, dark, drippy... really cool! (No pictures of that... too dark for cameras.)


Then we went further up the mountain to a little glacier lake called Meadow Lake. It was beautiful! The weather was perfect and we had a picnic and threw snowballs into the lake.



It was actually a nice little break from finals. Too bad only four of us went.. with the bishop and ward clerk. :o) More food and car room for us!
