DILLON TO BOZEMAN - GHOST TOWN RUN

  Sadly we finally left Terry and Sally in Dillon and we took the road of the ghost towns of the gold rush era.
Today was the first day of serious rain since we arrived but we still managed to have a walk round Nevada City and Virginia City.

SANDHILL CRANES FLYING SOUTH......LIKE US!




TAILINGS FROM THE DREDGE

The scenery around these towns was decimated by the dreadful dredge - the huge machine that throws up piles of earth in its search for gold, leaving tailings everywhere.









NEVADA CITY





Torrential rain hit us by mid afternoon then eased as we arrived in Bozeman where we will stay for a day at least for food shopping and parts for the trailer brakes and to give Roy time to fix it. As we rolled into the campsite the lady said to Roy - I know you - once seen never forgotten! She didn't give us a discount though.



VIRGINIA CITY








Love this painted pony! I want one.
