Matt and Kathleen live near Washoe lake, love to hike, and surprised us when they talked about hiking from their house to Virginia City. Matt did it a couple of years ago, and Ann has wanted to do it since we hiked Mount Davidson three years ago. Today we all did it together – a great Nevada hike!

At the apex of Jumbo grade are a bunch of towers, and today a pair of golden eagles perched on top.

Virginia city was abuzz with motorcycles and weekend visitors, whom we gladly joined for dinner at the Cafe Del Rio.
