Today the sun was actually shineing until early afternoon and then it clouded up and has rained. We spent about an hour and a half on a trolley tour of the town. He took us all over the town and told us about the ups and downs of the town which was tied to mining of different minerals. At one time the town had 100,000 people. It is considered the "Richest Hill on Earth". They say that there is more mineral here than what they have all ready removed. This is where a lot of the unions began also. When it was over we went for the famous Pork Chop Sandwich( at least in this area). It was very good and followed by a Huckleberry Smoothie.
After a nap by Marvin, he and Dee and I went to tour the Clark Mansion and it was very interesting, but still needs a lot of work to be brought back to its original look. It is now a B&B and is being worked on. We also visited an original hotel that is still running and it was spectacular inside. Don't know what the rooms looked like but the public areas were beautiful--done in art deco. We went driving around and looking at areas we had never been in--interesting.
