You know why San Francisco 49ers are the San Francisco 49ers? Well, in case you don't know California had a big gold rush in '49. (There was a hint of sarcasm in that introduction.) Anyway, Katie and I had the opportunity to go up to the empire mine up in the Sierra Nevadas. It was a hot day but it was a lot of fun. It was the longest operating gold mine in California. Some of the mine veins go 8,000 ft. down. 8,000 ft!!!! Can you believe that? The cities around the area would literally collapse if there were an earthquake because the mine veins go everywhere!
This guy above who obviously isn't interested in the picture with us is a blacksmith...
Thus the blacksmith attire. He made us a little baby spoon out of a horse shoe nail. It was pretty sweet!
Here us our little family at the mouth of the vein that goes down 8,000 ft. Yes again...8,000 ft. Anyway, I had a fun time. And my wife and son are cute so that is why I posted this blog!
There's a real post! Looks like a blast! Please tell me you arent feeding Tyson with that spoon?! Glad you guys are having fun! Did you guys go down to the bottom?
ReplyDeleteSo, totally impressed that you are keeping the blog Ivan. I'm pretty sure out of all the blogs I follow yours is the only one not updated by the wife.
