Little Sahara, Eureka, and the Pony Express Trail

Christopher was given the day off for Good Friday, so we decided to take a road trip. We headed south west, and stopped off in Eureka, an old mining town.

 This is the old prohibition era bar.

 This is their old jail. I know I'd behave well if trouble meant living in that prison...

Next we went to little Sahara. We were hoping to get in a hike at the dunes, but it was wild with adults and kids on four wheelers and motorbikes. We stopped for lunch, and were on our way.

On the way home, we stopped by the pony express trail. My history buff is a big fan of historical plaques, so he was practically giddy. 

We also stopped by fort Bridger, the fort were US militia were stationed to keep Utah from uprising. there was a lovely little cemetery across the street for the soldiers that dies while stationed there.

Not bad for a Friday!
