The morning was cool and calm and we enjoyed a peaceful breakfast with views of mountains past the palm trees and flowering oleanders. Bill was happy when we packed up and left Callville Bay Campground.
We drove to the Silver Reef Mine Museum outside of Leeds, Utah. This is one of only two places in the world where silver was found in sandstone. The museum is located on a ridge with great views. The volunteers/staff were very enthusiastic about the history of the mine. They dressed in period costume and were knowledgeable and interesting. One of the displays is of a “mine” in the basement. Before entering the “mine” the guide provides lanterns and leads people into the dark to mimic what the actual working conditions were like. This was a fun and informative museum and we enjoyed the exhibits and the people.
After the museum we stopped in Leeds for ice cream then decided to stay at a hotel in La Verkin for the night to catch up on sleep and laundry. There was a great Indian restaurant next to the hotel. The food was wonderful and the staff were very attentive.
