Yellowstone with Malia

Yesterday, Malia and I decided to visit some ghost towns that were about 65 miles away from West Yellowstone, where we are still parked.  The first one was Ennis where we stopped for lunch in this cute little café..

 

Then, it was on to Virginia City.  We enjoyed some beautiful scenery along the way and had to pull over and capture it in pictures.  Montana really does have a "big sky."  An interesting place we passed was Quake Lake, a lake that was formed when Montana had a huge earthquake in 1959 which claimed 28 victims.    

 

 

Virginia City was an old gold mining town at one time with a lot of lawlessness.  This is the old train station which is now used as a visitor center.

 

This was a collection of old arcade machines of that time.  Here you could get your fortune told for
 5 cents.    

We also went to Nevada City but decided we were too tired to walk around there.  We opted instead to end our day with a cold beer at this old saloon which is supposedly haunted.
