Goldfield Ghost Town

The Gholfield Ghost town trip was really fun. We did three very exciting things. When we got there we took a train tour. Our tour guide was so informative. He told us about the cactus, the town and the surrounding mines. Then after we got off the train we went to a spot and split into two groups. One group went in the mine and the other panned for gold. My group went in the mine first. Our tour guides name was Rusty. He told us and showed us how dark it could get and how much light the miners had to work in. He showed us the worlds first porta potty. Then the groups switched and we went panning for gold. What we did was we got a pan full of dirt with gold, fools gold, and garnets. the lady helped us swish it around until all we had was treasure. They gave us a bottle filled with a drop of water. We all got to keep some of the treasure. After that we all had lunch looked at some reptiles and left for home. It was a very good trip.
