Ghost towns and treasure hunting

Tracy had to go back home on Wednesday so he could work a couple days. Grandma wanted to show us "treasure mountain" and Grafton ghost town so we loaded up the kids and took a trip. Here are some pictures of Hayden and Katelyn standing in front of the same houses that I stood in and looked out the window as a little girl. They have the renovated the buildings somewhat but they have them locked, so we couldn't go inside. After Grafton, we took a wild trip up to Gooseberry Plateau. The road up was steep and very rocky. Grandma thought we should give up and call it quits a couple times.  I kept thinking that the road had to get better shortly. We came across some road workers when we got to the top of the hill and the road was looking better. I stopped and asked if we were going the right direction and how the road was from there and if he thought I could make it ok. He looked at me and looked at my car and looked at me like I was nuts and said "if you made it up that, you'll be fine" and kind of chuckled. The road to Gooseberry Plateau was much better and we came out the other side in Apple Valley on a much better road. I'm sure that guy thought we were crazy.
