Moving Dustins and Calico Ghost Town


The sunset was beautiful as ...

... Paul and I were flying to California to ...

... help Dustin & Gina pack and move back East.

While Paul and Dustin filled every crack and cranny of the U-Haul trailer ...

... Bryce and a friend, Allison had fun outside.

One last picture in the small backyard on McClemont Street.

Paul and I are driving Dustin's car back to Mississippi and decided to take the long way around. Today we stopped at an old ghost mining town near Baker, CA.

I doubt I was proper enough for riding a stage coach.



You can see the word "Calico" on top of the mountain.

I loved the old general store.

I'm so glad we have modern technology in dentistry today.

Paul enjoyed looking at the beautiful rocks in the gift shops.

Back in it's heyday, the school house also served as the church meeting house when the traveling pastor came around.

We took the walking tour of Maggie Mine.

I was impressed with the greatness of the bellows.


The Mulcahy Brothers lived here for 20 years. Did you see the quilt?


And I found this quilt in the Craft Shop covered with other things.

We really enjoyed being tourists!

Visit to Dustins, Gina, and Bryce in LA

Paul and I took a short trip to Los Angeles to visit our 10th grandchild, Bryce Camden.
 
Dustin and Gina welcomed us to their home. We enjoyed dinner in their back yard.
 
 
Paul and I took a walk around the block and enjoyed the sights,  flowers, ...
 
...and palm trees of Tujunga.
 
 
 
Dustins live in what they call a "back house." It's cute and comfortable, just perfect for their needs.
 
Saturday they took us to Montrose for ...
 
... a treat of homemade ice cream at Paradis.
 

On Sunday we drove up to Lubec for church and lunch. Then we drove just a little further north on Interstate 5 through "the Grapevine" to where the mountains abruptly stop and the San Joaquin Valley begins.
 
We pulled off at Pyramid Lake ...
 
 
...and learned more about the water resources of California.
 
This little munchkins was sleeping soundly when we got back.
