So the majority of the 17 of us went to Ely in April when Tyler got back from his mission. It was Christina's first time in Ely, so everyone got the grand tour, thanks to Nathan aka Ely historian (whether the facts are true or not).
Our first stop was Ruth, the ghost town down the road from Ely. We found a lot of obscure, fascinating things to play with and prayed we would not get tetanus or lice.
This is the historic Liberty Pit where Nathan worked for an entire summer, and Tyler worked for two days. Nathan was a sparky (do we want to know what that means?)
This is one of the tires that gets worn out on the mine trucks, and then gets recycled on children's playgrounds.
Two words: sketchy hotel. It is a historic Nevada landmark since 1929 and used to be the tallest building in Nevada. We ate there one night at about 11. The food was questionable (but isn't usually), but we had a great time. We sat in the Will Rogers booth and saw a giant snake skin...and a lot of slot machines.
