Third day
Kit wanted to do the hike up siphon draw trail to the basin at 3100 feet. We only got to 2800 feet on Thursday. So he went. So did a hundred other people but he said it was still nice. I did the same loop we did yesterday.
This afternoon we decided to be tourists. Nearly just across the highway is this fake ghost town. We can hear the whistles and gunshots from here. We were pleasantly surprised. There is old mining stuff and old buildings you can wander and look at without any cost. Even the museum was free (donations accepted). There were a few souvenir shops but you didn't have to go in. On the hour there is a "show" gunfight. Unlike Tombstone you don't have to pay And they don't take it seriously--just a lot of noisy fun. It is quiet here tonight. We have no neighbors. Moving on tomorrow
