Today was field trip day to Goldfield... an 1890's reconstructed town near the Superstitions. Originally, we were going to head out of town today but instead changed our plans. The warm weather and desert beauty is calling us to stay, and we will spend some time this weekend with our friends again.
Someone stole my seat today!
We arrived at Goldfield around 10 o'clock (it is right down the road from Lost Dutchman State Park) which was a new get up and go record for us!
Our first adventure was riding the narrow gauge train, where we learned about the history of Goldfield.
It was awesome to learn about the gold mining and an added bonus is that the ghost town is dog friendly!
We took Willow and Titus on the train ride, mine tour, and Mystery Shack tour.
After spending three hours there, and still not seeing everything, Steve and I were ready to hit the road. First, a stop to get some ice cream and fries, and a few fun souvenirs.
Then we made a quick run into town to buy a couple supplies. Steve really wants to buy another Jeep Wrangler, so we went to check out a couple... but really, it's not the best move for us at the moment. There is adventure enough in just having the rv. Perhaps next year we will add a jeep to tow behind and to adventure off-road with ♡
This sweet girl is super tired and is currently watching the old school "Beauty and the Beast" movie while the boys ride bikes. Next up for all of us: showers, dinner, and family game night!
