Located in western Nevada at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, just south of Reno, Virginia City, the legendary mining town at the heart of the Comstock Lode is the largest federally designated Historical District in America.
Once a thriving boomtown in the 1850s, which turned grubby prospectors into instant millionaires, Virginia City is maintained in its original condition, as it was in the days of the 1870s (the “Bonanza” years), when the Comstock Lode made it the West's premier mining metropolis.
Virginia City and the Comstock Lode still maintain the flavor of the highfalutin mining days, when Mark Twain roamed the streets and everybody wanted a piece of the "Richest Place on Earth." The main “C” street has the original wooden sidewalks from the late 1800’s, which are filled with saloons and hotels, once full of wild and boisterous miners.

Lower Antelope Canyon is one of the places that should be on everyone's travel bucket list (but please, not on the days I happen to be there - it is crowded enough as it is! I had a chance to visit Lower Antelope in October 2012 as part of my "Easing Gently into Retirement" tour and it was one of the many highlights.
Lower Antelope is located a few miles outside of Page, AZ (look for the very tall smokestacks next to it); the canyons (Lower and Upper) are on Navajo Tribal land and the price to visit is fairly steep - $26/person, but it's worth it. If you are a serious photographer you can ask for a photographer's permit - this allows you to break away from the group tour and also to remain in the canyon for two hours.
The canyon itself is very cool - it is mostly underground - you descend a series of ladders and have to wiggle through some passages but almost anyone can do it. The cool thing is the views are constantly changing from each angle and time of day. For shooting, a tripod is almost mandatory but there were a lot of times there wasn't enough room to set it up. Your body gets a workout trying to wedge and contort into small spaces to capture a shot; many of the shots are either straight up or at very sharp angles.
Even though a lot of guided tours go through it is fairly easy to find solitude. The biggest drawback this time was the lack of professional courtesy displayed by some foreign photographers; instead of shooting and moving on or letting people pass they decided the canyon belonged to them; they frequently blocked passage with huge amounts of gear, they would walk into other shooters set-up and linger, they were loud and obnoxious and spitting everywhere, and then they decided to throw a bunch of sand into the air, creating a lot of dust everywhere. Where are the tasers when you need them? This group really pissed off several other shooters but despite that it was a great trip!
We asked our friend Llb what she had
on her bucket list, she replied " On my
85th birthday I would like to ride on a
motorcycle!" Today she got her wish, a
small group of us from church and
Sheryl's son brought his motorcycle over to take Lib for a ride. Another gal
put tatoo's on her and we even rolled
up a box of playing cards in her sleeve
to make it look like a package of cigarettes. Jeff took her for a ride on his
bike and when they returned she was
all smiles. Next year....she's thinkin'
maybe she'd like to jump out of a plane! I say " you go girl!"

It's my first wall climbing experience. I really come from a country where people live in trees :).
I tried 4 times, reached the top thrice :). Exceeded my personal goals (my goal = go past my height :)).
I was SO blessed to have been chosen to have the Bucket Brigade paint my entire house for free! The paint was donated by Sherwin-Williams and the labor was done by the Methodist Church. My house looks awesome and I am so thankful for the help!
When the bucket trucks rolled down Banks Street on the morning of our fourth day without power, our spirits were uplifted. We were sure we'd get power soon.
And sure enough, that night, we did.
It's the middle of the night. There are no lights on in the whole neighborhood. It is really nice to see the red blinking lights of the power utility's bucket truck across the street.
