Fun in Jarbidge




We spent the fourth of July in a tiny old mining town called Jarbidge, Nevada. Tirza's Mom and Dad have a cabin, guest house and garage/shed there and it was the first time we'd been there together. It's a cool old mining town with tons of history there. There are so many places to off road and luckily we were able to go pretty much anywhere we wanted thanks to Tirza's dad's quads and the Razr. It feels like a little piece of heaven when you're up in the mountains.

They had activities all weekend in the little town. There were a lot of people there now since it's summer, but come winter there is a population of about 5-10 people that stay there year round.

Owen disovered the slide at the park and wanted to go round and round for the rest of his life. "Up the ladder, then down the slide", over and over and over again!

There were some really cool old mining shafts and old buildings pretty much everywhere you go up there.

The wildflowers are everywhere up on the mountains. And tons of colors, blue, yellow, red, orange. They had these flowers that were just crazy fire red!
