When you are in Carson City, a short drive to a most interesting attraction is Virginia City, where mining was big during the gold rush. You’ve gotta visit the Bucket of Blood, for a rip roaring good time and take an underground tour of the Ponderosa Mine from the back of the Ponderosa Saloon. The kids will love it and it’s facinating for the big kids (adults).
