I am sitting outside in the sunshine at Cave Lake Campground at Cave Lake Nevada State Park outside of Ely, Nevada. Clifford and I arrived here just a couple days ago on our journey south for the winter. Although the sunshine is pleasant, it is still a bit chilly as I sip tea and write in my journal.

The mornings is cool, but the afternoon is warm enough that Clifford is sitting outside minus his T-shirt to do a sewing project while I find myself a nice spot to play the fiddle where I won’t be likely to disturb any neighbors.

Today we make a trip to Ely for errands and admire the murals on the walls of the old downtown buildings.
Then we make or way to Renaissance Village, a portion of the original mining town that has been restored. Although the Village is closed for the season, we are free to walk the streets and peek in the windows of the buildings. Fascinating to think about all the folks who lived here in the early 1900’s and how much life has changed in the past century.
Back at camp, we are treated to another rich sunset. Today was a fun day in town, and tomorrow we plan to head up the mountain to explore what is that direction.
