Sunday, May 25, 2014 

When we got to the train barn this morning we found out that the train is still broke down.  At least Cindy got a chance to see the beautiful steam engine that is in storage as well as a 1911 steam traction engine.  Chuck worked again today at the Gypsy Arcade.  He had a good day and enjoyed seeing many Corvettes because the Corvette Club was in town.   

Cindy had a really busy day at Nevada City.  She worked at the counter in the museum selling gifts and entrance passes to the music hall and all the old buildings that make up Nevada City.  The living history volunteers were on site this weekend, and it was quite interesting to see their wide array of costumes and professions.  At first Cindy was enthralled to hear all the old automatic music machines as people fed them quarters.  However, the popular 1895 Gavioli Carnival Organ that played horns, cymbals, drums, and a xylophone was extremely loud and the new wore off pretty quickly. 

After Chuck closed up the Gypsy Arcade, he brought his money to Nevada City, put the chickens in their coop, and helped lock up all the buildings while Cindy prepared her deposit and paperwork.  We got off work at 6:30 p.m. and after eating a light supper we played Mexican Train with our inn mates.   

We are off work for the next two days and will be heading to Yellowstone National Park in the morning.
