The Village
The Village is an interesting place. I finally made it over to the MUSEO and it was open! What a cool place it is. They have a wall full of shells all named properly, a wall full samples of all the rock in the area, again all named. There are exhibits on gold mining, native Indians, bats, local people who made a difference in the Village and even a large display of antique equipment. There is a lot of history in that little tiny building. Yep, there is a small gift shop too!
I have met a couple of local guys here as well. Herman is a really "old" prospector with an amazing amount of stories. I sat and had coffee with him the other day. He finally talked me into walking over to his place and looking at his collections of books etc., We had a good laugh at all of his pick up lines and I really did enjoy talking with him.
I have also met Murray and his wife. He drive around with a water tank in the back of his pick up truck. I have been able to fill my gerry jugs for free with non-potable water from the community water tank. I am using that water to do laundry. He said he had to strain out the ants the last time he filled up.
