Hey guys, here's some pics of VC... Silver Queen first of coarse! I'll add more pics later. Sorry for the fuzz in some. I kept winning drinks on a slot machine that had an 85cc gsa as a top prize. I couldn't resist throwing in a $20. After I was done, winning only 2 beers & 1 bottle of champagne, I ask the bartender how often the morgan has been won & she then explained that in her 17yrs of working there (at the delta) she has NEVER seen it won. (Other 2 prizes were a gsa ike & a gold kruggerant) the kruggerant she said had been won twice and the ike, a dozen or so

That looks like a very uncomfortable dress :)

But wouldn't mind seeing that dress on my bedroom floor

With me, she'd wake in the morning, alone, and her dress would be gone...

I wonder how many CC and S Mint dollars are in this dress. I cannot imagine too many from Philadelphia or Denver.

Hey gyrene... I asked that too of coarse and I was told none. Then I asked when it was constructed (1950s)

Another fact about the silver queen is room 11 is haunted by the ghost of a prostitute that was murdered in the same claw foot tub that still sits in the room. Cost: $80/nite... it was also featured on a ghost hunters episode where she "talked" to them on their equipment with mumbled subjective words

I've visited Virginia City, abeit like a couple decades back. I think it's retained more of its 19th century character than my locl silver boom town of Tombstone.

Other old time mining communities I've been to are Jerome, Arizona & Cripple Creek, Colorado. Either is worth the small detour to get to.

Great post & pics, Cascade.

Thanks lucky, more to come when I get back to the cabin. I'm going to go hike up our waterfall right now. It's raging & beautiful this time of year! I might do a little gold panning for fun at the bottom if it too

Are you going out to see where they filmed "Bonanza"? I think the ranch house is still there. Of course your probably not old enough to remember Bonanza lol!
