After a stressful couple weeks I decided to take the day off, and with my dad in town I had a prefect reason to go explore a couple old mining camps around death valley. We had a great time and found some really cool places. The frog was a champ and during the tour of Scotty's Castle told me that's where a princess would live. The mines where really in really good condition, if you want to read up on them here are the links. http://home.earthlink.net/~ghosttowns/dv/dvwest/dvwest.htm (its the first post)
