Our 28th Anniversary

We have plans with Ryan and Jenni to travel again for our 30th Anniversary so we decided to stay lose to home for this anniversary. I have been wanting to hike Valley of Fire and the St Thomas ghost town so we decided to do this for our anniversary and it was such a great day!

This was about a 7 mile hike that like a figure 8. It was two different hikes linked together. 

Mouse Tank Hike and Petroglyphs

This was an old outlaw hideout. 

There was water at the bottom of this little crevice. 

After hiking numerous hikes in Valley of Fire, we drove to the St Thomas Ghost Town. We were worried the mile hike to the town wouldn't be worth it but this ended up being my favorite part. 

You could see the little town from the parking lot. 

This was an old Mormon town that they moved from and then years later another group came in and settled. After several years, the town was flooded by Lake Mead and the people had to desert their homes and town. 

Hiking Down. 

Because it had been flooded for decades and just recently receded revealing the town, there were sea shells everywhere

Remnant of one of the homes

Map of the town!

Main Street. There were homes and businesses that lined this street. 

This was a grocery store

This was a two story school house

The stairs were still there...so crazy!

That night after our hiking day, we drove home, showered rested and then went to dinner. What a fun day had celebrating! Happy 28th Anniversary to us!!
