| PIOCHE |
Feeling
quite sad after our eagle episode we drove through Pioche, looking to
cheer ourselves up. Considered to be one of the wildest mining camps
in the west during the 1870's it did little to help. Sometimes we
feel that all these wild west mining towns seem to make something out
of nothing and this was no exception. Saw the mine and the aerial
tramway then headed out to find our campsite at Cathedral Gorge State
Park, which was impressive.
Eroded
spires and towers of tan coloured bentonite clay gave this narrow
valley a resemblance to a Gothic cathedral. Reminded us of a cross
between the Badlands and a subdued mini Bryce Canyon.
