Tonopah, Nevada

We had a chance to stop at another town called Tonopah. The town is an old mining town and they still let you go out to mine for yourself.

We got a tour of a store called Otteson's World Famous Turquoise, and Dean Otteson showed us around. Martha got some beautiful turquoise rocks, and we thought of how much both of her parents loved all kinds of rocks too.

It is so interesting to hear the stories of why people live where they do, and how they got there. So many people feel like they are exactly in the right place for them, and I was quite fascinated by these stories.
