Ely Tour #2


These are the coke ovens, which require 35 cords of wood....that's what the sign said. We climbed up them. That was the easy part--getting down was a struggle at least for Christina.




If you are ever looking for hours of fun, go to a mine shaft and drop things down it. It's addicting.

Where did it go?

All the metal things we found to drop. We figured they would be noisier. More noise=more fun!


If you are ever looking for 15 minutes of fun, go to the Taylorsville Cemetery. You will never find a more captivating series of ply wood tombstones. Not to mention the log book that told us how the people buried there died. We were a little confused when we read "Double homicide with a Mexican."

Ahhh Cave Lake--so much natural beauty (see above photo).
