Pahrump Valley Museum

The Pahrump Valley Museum, a small local museum full of local history and life in the valley over the last 150 years or so.  Inside has all the usual domestic implements you find in these local museums plus a special exhibit dedicated to President Lincoln who was the President when Nevada became a state in 1864.  Out side there are exhibits of old farm and mining equipment and some old buildings rescued from Pahrump.

Couple of old and small tractors, for a moment I thought I was back in France, when I moved to France back in the 80s used to see tractors like these all the time, the yellow one at the back is rear engined and the front one, a single cylinder engine.

It is now Tuesday afternoon and we are in Bakersfield, California.  I started to write this blog last Saturday afternoon and then lost the internet. Sunday we visited Death Valley still no internet when we returned.  Monday we moved to Shoshone at the south end of Desert Valley - - no internet. Now in Bakersfield and back on line, lots of catching up to do.
 Finish up with this lovely little bird hiding in the Bourgainvillea, can't find it on my ibird app, cute though.
