There are a few dimes used in the mural...her necklace and braclet and her earrings

Panning for gold

I don't think this has anything to do in particular with Virginia City but...a Hummer golf cart parked in a lot

On the back side of Mt. Rose is an area known as Slide Mountain...

The warning signs are actually more appropriate for something else though  :laugh: (y) (y)

Andrew up on the mountain.  No, he wasn't that close - that was the farthest I could zoom the pic!

Up on Mt Rose.  Overlooking Lake Washoe.  We were right about 8900-9000' right here.

Same Mt Rose pic looking left.  Yes, that's a hang glider on the road - he jumped off just minutes later.

Looking up the hill at Mt. Rose.

Our Poker Run Winners!  Andrew (3 Jacks - $56), Cliff (3 Fours - $16), and Amy (low hand - Ace Hi, $:cool:

And the Avalanche Sign.  (Okay, here's proof that the sign was still there when I took my pic.  Cliff was the last to take a picture next to this sign, and I cannot truthfully say that I actually saw the sign after he was done.  So, Cliff, did that 7/16" wrench work?? )  :laugh:

Umm...actually if you recall I left the top of the hill after the last poker deal and was the FIRST to take a pic (and check the bolt size)...then if you also recall I blocked off the area so the rest of the crew could take pics... :p

And yes a 7/16 would have done the job... >:D

Opps, Yes, I stand corrected.  A review of my photos proves that you were not the last to take a pic of that sign.

No Officer.  I cannot accurately identify the last person to see that sign.  It was there after I was done.  The last person to see the sign had their back to me and no front license plate to identify.  Additionally, the person behind the vehicle (see feet) was blocked by the vehicle itself and I could not identify that person accurately.

Aussie had a small issue with a "Pig Hauler" on her trip from Utah...

Apparently the pigs didn't like the Av 'cause they urinated out the trailer and "soaked" the front of her Av

Saturday morning was spent doing a little more detailing before we left for the cruise...and Aussie gets the only Award handed out  (y) (y)

Harumph !!!

Now in truth on the way home we had to race past two more of them  :E: :E:
This time they decided to hold it until a ridgeline or something more worthy of doing you know what came by.  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Thank you...but...I must once again have you reconsider...

After Denman took his pic...and we started down the hill...being tailgunner...I was actually the last to see the signs...both of them...the one we took pics at, and the one at the very bottom at the intersection...

So even though Denman was the last to take pics...he was not last to see the signs... :laugh:




























Wondering if this puts me back into the suspect category... ???
 
Those were some great pics!  Love the old town and museum.  Makes you feel like you were there.  Some very cool views as well.  Ah man I missed the carAVaning too  :(

Definitely priceless  :laugh:

:beating: no if you had that smell you would not think so. I was rolling gagging. It was awful. But the pig yea I will keep it forever that was too funny and I loved it. What is a gtg without Aussie getting teased ?  :laugh: :laugh:
That is ok though gang I have one all lined up for next year and it will get everyone. I am equal opportunity. It is being worked on now and will be all perfected and ready .
Oh and Dennis I have one all special for you in Laughlin  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
 
Can I just say that this trip looks like it was a lot of fun......I sure do miss the group.....and I sure do miss my AV.
