Frisco

A typical mining town at the foot of the San Francisco Mountain (sic?) was fed by the fabulously rich horn silver mine. By 1885 over $60,000,000 in zinc, copper, lead, silver, and gold were hauled away by mule train and the Utah Central Railroad. Water was shipped in as well as all supplies. The the mine caved and people moved away, leaving only a few families of the 4,000 population to maintain their homes, stores, school, and church. By the 1920's only memories and the shifting sands were left.

Virgin River

Virgin River Gorge Recreation Area, Washington County, Utah

Photograph taken May 30, 2005.

We stopped for lunch at the Virgin River Gorge Recreation Area, where we watched some rafters launch their raft. Even though it was early in the season, this location was very dry and quite hot.

Virgin River in its gorge, near the upper end.

Photograph taken May 30, 2005.

While driving through the Virgin River Gorge, I watched for a place to stop and take an interesting photo. Unfortunately, there are very few places to stop, and many places are signed "No Stopping." By the time we stopped here, we were nearly through the gorge, and there wasn't much interesting to see here.
