A trip to a ghost town in Juab county

We took a trip to a ghost town in Juab county today. Becca's class is studying Utah history this year and she has been assigned to do a report on Juab county. Our trip was a field trip so that she could get a better sense of what Juab county is like. We drove down to Silver City and then wandered around in the snow. Enjoy the pictures.

The kids poke their heads out of the window of an abandoned home.

Daddy and his girls stand in front of the biggest building in the ruins. You can kind of see the ledge behind us. The walls dropped in about 10 feet and there was some kind of pool at the bottom. We're not sure what the building was for.

Chantel and the kids stand in front of a sealed mine. About twenty feet in the mouth of the mine has been cemented over to prevent intripid explorers from doing a Tom Sawyer and getting lost inside the mountain.

Chantel and the kids pose on the way back down to the car. Notice the sweet deal that Amy has. I want to ride around in a baby sling. =)
